This is a fair point and it has to be weighed against the value of the data to the individual. I generally feel they have struck the correct balance but if you think different approach is warranted you should explain it and why it better balances these different needs.
I'm reminded of when Walmart opened in a town near where I grew up. There was some local law they were in violation of and hadn't yet gotten around to fixing (whatever it was, I forget). They were told "We will fine you X dollars per day that you are open and in violation".

They said "Sounds good. Send us the bill each month and we'll pay it."

They were just making so much money that it was more profitable to pay the fines and leave the problem as is than it was to fix the problem.
That is sadly the way anywhere mainstream without heavy moderation. The scary thing about Youtube comments isn't that they are extra stupid because they aren't - they are the norm and essentially what happens when a representative sample of the population is available.
Hijacking the thread:

What would motivate you to go every day rather to an office instead of working remotely?

Give me your top 3 wishes, eg. the new Mac Pro with 2x Apple 6k displays as your personal workstation.
Why do you assume they didn't? People make decisions. That's how decisions are made the world over.
> A masters degree doesn't pay in dollars, but experience that can set you apart in the future.

Surely "experience that can set you apart in the future" can be captured in calculations of lifetime earnings?
This setup is my favorite, although I have worked in offices of 3-6.
I love Hazelcast. It's the best thing since the Coupling Facility on zSystem mainframes.
1)"Of course it's possible to have untrammelled freedom of speech. It may have downsides in many cases, but perhaps that is a price worth paying."

No, totally false. There's a considerable amount of information that you cannot publish. Both information managed by the state, and information that is private to individuals and organizations.

There's a considerable amount of information that many individuals would like to publish that definitely does not constitute 'whistle blowing'.

It's not a 'straw man argument' because the issue is relevant every day to journalists trying to make this decision.

There's considerable consternation among even major/professional media outlets about what parts of leaks they can publish, what they can't, moreover, there are entities (i.e. bloggers) who'd just publish whatever, whenever, without considering the consequences if they didn't have to.

So sorry, you can't publish pictures of your naked girlfriend, or private medical records of employees, or many state secrets.

2) Manning published gigabytes of data for which he had no knowledge of the contents - this is not 'whistle blowing', moreover, his publication of the video journalists dying in a war zone does not fit this description either.

Nobody has the right to enter into a firefight in the most dangerous location in the world, and to not inform the combatants (as per protocol) and expect that they will be treated with the normal rules of application of violence in a civilian area.

Of course, were the journalists were to have informed the US forces of their intentions, they would have been told to 'absolutely not enter because your safety will be ensured'.

The video shows the folly of individuals who think they can just walk into a war zone with cameras. There was no crime.

3) "Finally, why should free speech protections be restricted to journalists?"

Well, first consider that 'shield laws' as they exist generally only apply to journalists, so take that up with the government, but it hints at my point which is that the 'rules are vague'.

Your understanding of 'freedom of speech' as conveyed by your comment seems to be flawed: nobody ever had the right to publish 'whatever' under the guise of 'freedom of speech'.

Summary:

- There is information that cannot be published, there is no debate here.

- The rules at to what can be published is unclear.

- The 'shield laws' are vague, and especially the terms of what constitutes 'journalist' is vague, further complicating things.

So if we want the journalists to be able to 'do their jobs' we may need better, clearer regulation.
I'm surprised this post is even still up. HN usually removes anything remotely controversial. A couple weeks ago, they removed a NYT article solely because the article had "White Liberals" in the title.
I think both could be useful. If I'm reading something in russian, for example, иду, that on its own isn't very interesting to me, I want to be able to see the whole verb, especially when there are stem changes etc.
WTF? Seeing the Mona Lisa in person is not in any way necessary for being educated. This is the most ridiculous thing I've read all day.
Farming has the issue of mass scale, as any other human activity. Farmers have been artificially selecting species for thousands of years, but perhaps not at the scale and speed we witness today.

I have no doubts that normalization and lack of diversity are a problem. It is being observed today, for example, in the decreasing quality of tomatoes, that have lost flavour in favour of appearance.

But normalization of food production often goes in hand with normalization of feeding habits, and that is a whole different problem.
For example, potato producers know that washing potatoes decreases shelf life, but they still do it because otherwise consumers wouldn't buy them.

Modern convenience has a lot to do with this, and I think that the solution lies with consumer habits as well. I am all in favour of a more conscientious approach in the consumer-side, but this should be done without resorting to simplifications and emotional responses. It will also take some time.

On the other hand, convenience is a rather early feature of our lives, so I hope adapting to new ways of producing and consuming could be at least half as quick.

In the end, I hope we will be able to use land efficiently, respecting biodiversity and allowing for a reasonable amount of natural harm, without sacrificing quality and, more importantly, food security.

As for Integrated Farming, the Wikipedia article is not as thorough as the Organic Farming article, perhaps because IF is still not a thing in the US.[1]

Integrated Farming is an extension of Integrated Pest Management, Soil management and Efficient Water Usage practices, along with other schemes. It was largely subsidized in the EU for farmers wanting to adapt their methods. From 2020 onwards, it will become the standard for EU farming practices and subsidies will stop, as far as I know.

Integrated Farming is certified by local agencies, in the same way organic farming is: checking farming logs, pesticide invoices, warehouses, equipments and such. A local agent visits my farm every year.

Looking through the Python standard library or Go standard library should be a clue not to use Java idioms, but yes I realize those habits are hard to break. I have seen Java-in-Python and it is indeed painful.
Youtube has always been a PUBLISHER. They have never been an OPEN PLATFORM in any real sense.

They have so far managed to shirk responsibility for PUBLISHING hateful content while being amazingly on-the-ball when dealing with copyrighted material.

I am sure YouTube wouldn't put it in these terms, but from the outside it looks like every day they make the editorial decision to enforce copyrights while pushing hate speech. I am sure this makes sense financially.

> No it's totally not a violation of anyone's rights, but that doesn't stop me from being able to oppose the idea.

Well, I think everyone in this thread can at least agree that nothing should stop anyone from being able to oppose the idea.
I can understand it feeling like a scam. It’s hard to tell from the outside. See this talk I gave in 2018 for my perspective just about 5 years after the campaign started.

Regular people at the bar in my non-SF town can be overheard puzzling through the privacy issues that they’re hearing about these days. I’ve been asked how to avoid being tracked by creep stalkers now that it’s something people know to be conscious of - and helped them remove a tracking iOS profile after showing them how they wouldn’t have Settings > General > Profiles unless something creepy was up!

So I think we’ve reached a phase where performance is good enough on any hardware for people to start worrying about the big picture problems like privacy and tracking as well. Not to the exclusion of performance - but it’s clearly become more important to random non-tech folks.
Those looking to be radicalized will look at this as an example of the conspiracy. Look at QAnon. Or look at things like Conservapedia: https://www.conservapedia.com/Paul_Manafort

Go ahead and read that article on Paul Manafort. That's just one, mundane article—you could pick any. Understand that, true or false, it doesn't matter anymore—this is a narrative and a set of facts that around 100 million people in the United States now subscribe to.

We are way, way, way, way past removing a few thousand YouTube videos. That might have been marginally effective ten years ago. But there's been a decade of rhetoric now about how "they" control the media and will try and censor it. Sometimes it's "they" and sometimes it's (((they))).

Jews control the media, shadow governments, deep state, extreme hate against muslims, gays, etc.. This stuff is mainstream. Patrick Little ran for Senate in California, of all places, as an actual nazi and got 1.2% of the vote. That's 50,000+ people who went out of their way to vote for someone who was relatively unknown, all because his platform was based on removing Jews from the United States.

I don't know what the solution is, I really don't. But I DO know that removing videos from YouTube won't make it better. It may make it worse.
This was before the current administration. The reality is very different now
Not quite — if you run Firefox nightly you can develop and use "webextension experiments", which have the same power as the old pre-webextension Firefox addons. If you wish, you can also apply to have your experiment be turned into an official webextension API for Firefox.

This is considerably more cumbersome than previously, but still far better than having to fork the whole browser. (On the topic of forks, if running a bleeding edge browser — nightly — is not for you, you can use Waterfox, which is approximately Firefox ESR + the ability to run full-powered extensions.)

The companies that were responsible for the data in the first place are ones to blame for breaking "the anonymity on internet".

Anything that anyone does after the fact is moot.
I'd like to apologize for the typos in my previous comment that I neglected to notice before the edit window expired.
Dutch billionaire John de Mol sues Facebook over Fake Bitcoin Ads
Right, we can all speculate. I'm asking for some objective proof, if any such is available. We can only propose a solution if we first demonstrate that the problem is real.
Very little reason to believe Apple reads any of these, why waste the time?
It doesn't. You can oppose YouTube's proposed censorship rules without subjecting them to legal repercussions. They are within their legal rights.
Yes, but surely a repeated offense demonstrates criminal responsibility (or negligence at least) on behalf of the C-suite ... which they could counter by demonstrating exactly what they had personally done to ensure preventative changes were in place (like inspected waste in person; checked training had been carried out, in person; made sure informational posters were in place onboard vessels, in person).
Who do you think?

Hint: If they go the Facebook route it will be various 'anti-hate' orgs which have openly called people like Trump and Ben Shapiro Nazis.
does anyone know if there's a pyro or tf probability version somewhere?
The remote companies tend not to pay as well as some of the SF and valley firms. It costs less to beat the remote firms than to beat the local competition in the Bay Area.

That's an absurd claim by your apple watch. An hour of expert level beat saber is closer to 360 calories.

Then how is Tim Pool labeled Alt Right? How is Ben Shapiro labeled Alt Right?

I'll be satisfied that the Left doesn't want to use corporate power and force to silence people, when the Left starts calling out the left for doing it.
Yes, the SEC has handwaved it out of being a security.

That doesn’t change facts, they simply aren’t going to do anything about it.
There have been numerous attempts to have independent investigations of the abuses in Nauru and Manus Island and they've been blocked many times by the government. There is also evidence of child rape by the guards of these modern-day internment camps, with no resolution that I've hear of by the government.

The government is not interested in investigating these hideous abuses and conditions at all. In fact they were trying to find the whistleblowers (probably to prosecute them) rather than investigating the allegations of rape and torture[1].

There’s a second order conclusion here that seems to get constantly lost in the conversation. On a bumper sticker it’d be, “It’s the monocultures, stupid.”

When we talk about things like glysophate staying around in the soil or making it’s way into the water supply, what we really should be questioning is why so much is being used in the first place. And that’s because we grow fragile annual crops in enormous monocultures making the use of chemicals a necessity.

I’m for alternative methods of farming, like permaculture, but I’m not so ideological to be against chemicals in the absolute. Based on the evidence I’ve seen, pragmatic use of sprays isn’t terribly dangerous. I’m talking spot spraying as part of conservation and restoration work, etc.

The fixation on particular chemicals like glysophate is a distraction from the root issue, which is that industrial scale agriculture is — on the whole —damaging to the planet.
From my understand, Japan pretty much only recycles anything that doesn't burn, which doesn't include the vast majority of the excessive amount of plastic packaging and plastic bags the country throws at you.

> They worked so hard to research and create a 2000 word article that accurately reflects the world (in accordance to their editorial guidelines) using their good name

I'm not sure which news sites you read but most of the ones I've seen count only as journalism in a very vague and abstract sense. The information is thin, the writing poor, and major important questions go unanswered and ignored. If there is indeed any point to following the news on a daily basis (and there is good evidence to suggest there is not), the quality of most new sources is atrocious enough that none of it is worth my time.

(The exception here is the occasional piece of very well done investigative journalism.)

But, in regard to comments, they do it for the same reason that Hacker News or any other site has a comments section: community engagement. This is not necessary a bad thing but it comes with the responsibility to _moderate_ the resulting community and almost every site drops the ball on this.
What makes you think you have to buy a "canned tourist experience"? Traveling (in highly developed countries at least) is easy: buy airline tickets, book rooms at hotels or hostels in the cities you want to visit, then just go there and walk around and see the sights at your leisure, and take the train to the next city according to your schedule. You don't have to buy tour packages or hire guides or hang out with other tourists if you don't want to.
The problem with reading framework and library code is that it's very coupled to what it is, so while it's interesting and valuable to read it's not really the type of code you'd see in a business app or whatever.
I think with archiving it’s more than that. Sure you can guarantee that the actual tool you just compressed with can restore the original perfectly. But with long term digital archiving I think you need the assurance that the “spec” called “xz” could be perfectly reimplemented by an expert in the future. Based solely on documentation. And on a platform that doesn’t exist today. That is, you must assume the original executable is either not available or not able to be executed.
Does the email detector ignore dots in Gmail addresses?

I was able to add my first.m.last@gmail.com and firstmlast@gmail.com as separate emails.

I know that might complicate your detection system, it just might miss some breaches for people who use both.
What do you mean white supremacy was the cause for WW1/2?

Edit, this is an honest question. It's my impression these wars were caused by nationalist movements. The first didn't even involve "whites" until later and it certainly had nothing to do with white supremacy.

The second world war got very white supremacy eventually but again, zero fucks to do with the cause. Hell America turned a blind eye to ALL of it until they got dragged in, that's how little it had to do with anything.

(Not some gun toting denier nazi here, it happened it was disturbing as fuck and it was a big deal, but please don't run around claiming this made up narrative)
This may be a long shot, but could anybody help me find a Bible in Oriya?

Last year I did some research into Unicode PUA characters and discovered some unencoded Taiwanese & Hakka characters. I wrote a proposal to add them to Unicode, and a blog post on Medium (called Hakka news).

Now I've done the same for all languages on Bible.com, and I'm trying to compare with printed copies to know what the text should say.
When Clinton granted China MFN status and then was allowed into WTO there were some (perhaps naive) assumptions of working in good faith and that while it was expected China would be granted some breaks as it caught up, eventually it would play nice abide by the rules everyone else respects. Well, it’s been 30 years and China is still not playing fair in trade (ownership requirements, IP transfer, IP theft, market access, etc.)

The admin is doing something the Busch admin should have done, or at least the first Obama, but neither did because it would be too upsetting to multinationals and would also “upset” China.

Now we have someone who says times up, do what you signed up for or deal with the consequences of ignoring the rule set out.

And, to a great degree, I agree with this. Blue collar labor was thrown under the bus. That little Texan was right. A giant sucking sound did take the jobs, but not Mexico but rather China chiefly, among other labor outsourcing, to our detriment (their own too) and environmental degradation.

Now, I’m glad and it’s great China took this opportunity to lift its people from abject poverty but we took too much of a hit. It should have been more measured and more fair.
Sure because targeted harassment, advocacy for the extermination of large groups, conspiracy theories like anti-vax BS that are actually killing people are just just fine

People against (limited) censorship usually react very quickly once it's their group that's being attacked (as some very famous subreddit does)
Agree. With tools like Remote VS Code it's definitely as good if not better than in person because you each have your own creature comforts but share the same workspace (even terminal) and can edit the same file at the same time.
Yeah this was during the height (well as far as advertising goes) of the situation where everyone was offering MBAs in every form.

Like this guy couldn't manage a taco bell... maybe that should be the barrier to entry, to get into class you have to manage a taco bell for a time....
Perhaps small office spaces in areas with many employees could be a solution. For example, you have the opportunity to go to a local workspace for your company on a weekday, but have no obligation to do so.
Just because the majority of the population has the ability to comment doesn't mean the majority participates. Voluntary participation like that tends to attract people with strong opinions on the position under debate - especially people who disagree with the position upheld by the article and especially people who feel like theirs is the minority opinion.
It may be a fallacy to assert that it will happen, but it's entirely logical to observe that the current developments make that eventuality more likely.
False pretexts are a subset of pretexts. It's only circular if you are not precise with the logic.

Fair enough, but I'm not sure that NYC would keep me in the house for exercise.

I live in the mountains of Colorado, but will always prefer exercising outdoors, even in winter. I tend to modify my exercise for the time of year and weather. In winter it tends towards running and skiing. Summer is for biking (and more running). I like to have variety of activities (helps to build up a diverse set of strength) and the simplicity of walking out my front door. (Without a monthly fee)
Thanks, installed it. I don't care about the name if it does what it says.
That's fine if we can agree on what is an "extreme view".

YouTube has already decided that academic software vulnerability exploitation proof-of-concept videos are "dangerous content", which results in video removal and a strike on your account.
I talk about mktg comms because I have worked at places where angry customers got earnest letters promising changes, but the manager expected to implement the changes said "No, we're not doing that!" Or "OK" but nothing happened. So I don't give much credit for promises, even when it was the right thing to promise.

Giving your ticket punchers authority is good when they are authorized to do what customers need to get or keep going. Giving them authority to eliminate customers, not so much.

I have to agree with the commenters who say it was an exemplary postmortem.

Hospitals have been doing formal postmortems for many years, but the number of them didn't start down until they instituted checklists.
"I can work hours that work best for me"

I have been working remote for years, and one reasons why companies hire me over a much cheaper resource in other countries is that I am US-based working US hours. If I started working crazy non-standard hours, I will no longer be employed.
