Would it be though?

If my legal address is a small apartment shared with 5 other individuals in a city I never go to, there's no legal reason pushing me to disclose any secondary housing I might own.

Another reason for such as situation is someone being homeless/nomad and having their address set to some organization or PO box in the city.
That was a while ago, right? From what I remember, the "usual suspects" (aka libertarians, liberalists etc) weren't that silent, they pointed out the irony that the try to control platforming backfired, but did oppose the bans.

Might be something newer, of course, in which case I didn't see it and can't comment on it.
I was a very shy child due to severe emotional abuse. I assumed everyone was going to demand the same interactions and therefore avoided interactions. Helping me see it was basically the same as overcoming it.

If you are shy with girls there is a good chance there is something in your past with a prominent female figure, likely a mother figure.
Here is the actual blog post: https://youtube.googleblog.com/2019/06/our-ongoing-work-to-t...

Main points:

>Removing more hateful and supremacist content from YouTube

I think this is great, I see nothing of value being lost from channels whose whole schtick is to marginalize people's of a target group.

>Reducing borderline content and raising up authoritative voices

I do like attempts to curtail outright scams and misinformation, but don't like YouTube choosing "top channels" as voices of authority.

>Continuing to reward trusted creators and enforce our monetization policies

I think this shows what drives YouTube and many other platforms, what is and isn't advertiser friendly. Principles only go as far as the bottomline.
I guess this makes it pretty clear why we don't have a glut of competent math teachers: Anyone who could do the job would recognize it isn't worth it.
Disagree with which part? Exposing illegal activity would seem to be confidently within the bounds of 'whistle blowing'.

YouTube is a privately owned and operated proprietary delivery platform. This is no different from a TV station deciding what to air. If you don't like it, switch platforms or just host stuff yourself somewhere.

Yes I am concerned that these dragnets will delete a lot of content that doesn't even match the stated criteria. In my experience Google/YouTube's evaluation of content for compliance is not very deep or well considered. It's generally performed by underpaid overworked folks that lack any domain expertise.

This is part of why I am a data packrat. If something is really interesting I snarf it and store it on my personal NAS. Easy to do and means I'll have backups of things that get "disappeared" and can share them with others if needed. If more people did this I think we'd have less of an issue with this.

Wow. You're the maker of this? I know so many people that used this program over the years. Thanks!
Do any of those tiers allow paying 5% more for a couple of inches of legroom?
Honestly, it should to some extent.

Conspiracy theorists and/or political extremists (on both sides) should have to seek out their extreme content with prejudice. No more marketing birther theories alongside CSPAN videos on YouTube, or click-bait "TOP 10 UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENON" when someone looks for academic material. It shouldn't be possible to "stumble" onto a video that promotes falsehoods like vaccines causing autism or holistic medicine alongside legitimate medical content. It's damaging our society because not everyone has the acumen to know when they're being gaslit.

If these content creators were doing this as satire and advertised as such it wouldn't be an issue. What we have are content creators creating deliberately misleading content and then pushing it deliberately to the most gullible audience they can.

The first amendment shouldn't be used as a weapon to trick stupid people. It's diluting real political discourse and creating factions of people who don't have substantial opinions, just a bunch of inaccurate facts and unscrupulous sources for information.
> I'm having a hard time figuring out how this statement can be even remotely accurate.

I'm not even an Android developer and I already know that tons of Android libraries get back ported to older Android versions. They have to. Nobody runs the latest Android.

It's a bit shocking to get downvoted for a statement that's undeniably true.
Nope...the argument is more like the shoe manufacture should just include the shoelaces. Shoelaces support the functional operation of the shoe...a purse does not support the operation of shoes. Most people would expect their shoes to come with shoelaces, not a purse.
They'll never do anything like that. They have to keep the masses safe from ideas that could be considered harmful.
The doctors and medical staff are mostly white, while the people they are treating are mostly black. To the ignorant, this would appear like an attempt at a genocide or recolonization.
I've never managed to get along well with Nano, personally, but I'm with you on using a fairly minimalist text editor.
It's not just your neighbors, it's the city, and the activists who know their way around the labyrinth of regulations (not all of whom can be bought off without someone else just taking their place).
That's their choice. If they don't like YouTube they should boycott YouTube, not leverage the government to force YouTube to host arbitrary videos for free.
The issue here is that Youtube is already known to ban people that clearly didn't show any extreme views. This was used as an easy pretext for the ban though.
Yup don't like it, make your own internet. Can't? To bad

As warp_factor said in sibling:

> because it became the de facto place most of non tech-savy people go to to see videos online. They have a huge monopoly on our time and attention

Society has a vested interest in either regulating or breaking up monopolies. Our rights don't magically stop at property borders. It needs to be checked on a case-by-case basis, whether the right to free speech or youtube's right to do what they please with their property is more important.
Please cite your source.

> According to the annual report of Germany's interior intelligence service (Verfassungsschutz) for 2012, at the time there were 26,000 right-wing extremists living in Germany, including 6,000 neo-Nazis.

> The National Socialist Movement (NSM), with about 400 members in 32 states,[195] is currently the largest neo-Nazi organization in the United States.

It seems the right to free speech and the right to association has led to FEWER Neo Nazis in America than Germany despite America's population being 4 times larger than Germany's.
Except by definition if I'm working remotely the hiring pool is every remote company, plus the local companies. That means the floor on salary is the greater of remote or local.

So in cheap areas you have to pay globally competitive, and in expensive areas you have to beat the locals.

Thus, it never makes sense to reduce pay for someone moving. Your goal should be to keep salaries above that floor, not pay as little as possible.
It would be good if they apply the policy consistently to people in power too, such as politicians. I doubt they will though.

You can use the + trick and . trick with Gmail addresses too. I think Outlook as well supports the + trick. The only downside to this is that there are plenty of sites that don't accept a + either knowingly or unknowingly.
> McDonald’s French Fry Potato plant

I'd love to see any info you have on that, because I'm not seeing anything at all. My Google Fu may be weak, but all I find is that McDonalds continues to deny using GMO potatoes.

Also, anecdotally, McDonalds french fries are far from all identical.
You've missed the point of the article entirely. A single bit-flip (which is almost guaranteed over long-term) can easily render the entire xz file corrupt.

This has nothing to do with xattrs/etc.
>and encapsulate individuals in information bubbles that seem to validate and fail to challenge their views?

Err, how do you know that the algorithm does this? And also, how do you know that people are not exposed to other views outside of YouTube. And lastly, why do you think its the job of an entertainment platform to "challenge" views?
As a shut in and professional hobbyist, this is far more valuable if it is engaging enough to get me to use it. I don't want to go get all sweaty and dirty riding a bike outside, and I'm clumsy so I would be terrified of seriously injuring myself (also I live in the middle of a city). This bike works in my climate controlled house, I can make it work with my schedule regardless of the weather, and the ease and availability makes it easier to work out every day without cutting into the few precious hours I get to devote to creative work each day.
Which deals specifically with preventing the government from censoring your speech. You are not obligated to use YouTube, nor is YouTube obligated to host your speech.
True. But supporting iOS 12 would mean I could start working on SwiftUI apps today.
We're not talking about the removal of extreme political views. We're talking about the censorship of one particular ideology. Where is the corresponding elimination of polarizing videos espousing views from the radical left?

A wholesale expunction from one end of the spectrum is hard not to interpret as politically charged censorship. Let's see how many Antifa and BLM videos get taken down.
Yes! I was looking for that essay but couldn't remember the title. Thank you!
Despite not directly stating it, the article does create the impression that wind power is not a thing in the US, however it is indeed a thing and offshore is a growing part of it.

From Wikipedia:
As of January 2017, the total installed wind power nameplate generating capacity in the United States was 82,183 megawatts (MW).[3] This capacity is exceeded only by China and the European Union.[4]

Also from Wikipedia:
On August 8, 2016 the Massachusetts governor signed Bill H.4568 which mandates that Massachusetts utilities obtain 1.6 GW of offshore wind power by 2027

Behind the curve? Yes. Ignoring wind? No.
The statement "censorship is coming back" is simply not true, it's been here the entire time. YouTube has been censoring videos since probably the very beginning. They've already had the power to and have already silenced certain political opinions on their platform. This is nothing new, they're simply (maybe) expanding it.
Hi, Thank you very much for these encouraging words!

(1) You are totally right, I plan to use this wording only to target the 'geeks' (those who may be early adopters, contributors), those who see Google more like a very innovative tech giant rather than just a search engine

(2) As written at the bottom of the article (yes I acknowledge it's very very long) the master plan is as follow:

1. Build free software and charge for hosting, security of hosted data and enterprise support

2. With this money reduce prices, free the data and the access to scientific knowledge

3. With this money and this community create the open infrastructure to run these software and host this open data

(3) I tried to make it clear by putting a large banner in the blog post in the section explaining what we currently have, in order to catch the eye of the bored one who will speed scroll: https://www.kerkour.fr/blog/bloom-a-free-and-open-source-goo...

(4) ACK, thank you, I will try to improve this
Pretty cool and actually, something I always wanted. Reminds me of the good old Netwars days:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMp1RrCy4w4

There are just a few things Netwars had that I am missing here:

1. Sound (is it just me?)
2. The controls are kinda weird. If I remember correctly Netwars used Ctrl and Shift to throttle. Mouse (or Joystick) for turning (upper part of the side of the screen to roll), Space to fire the gun and Return to fire missiles.
3. A radar for orientation.

But for a prototype awesome already :-D
i feel these "fines" should scale both with the companay's revenue and how much they saved in performing the violation. so at a minimum, the fines should be at least as much as they saved and then increased even more in line with severity of the violation and revenue.

edit: i see your edit now, which is what i am saying, but i'll leave it.
Exhaustive list of cruise ship environmental violations and penalties (although I believe there must be another list of penalties for damages to reefs by cruise lines, because I recall multiple fines in the past for $10’s of millions, a this list is noticeably absent high dollar penalties/fines):

Thank goodness for that. If not, YouTube might be forced to publish extremist content that they find to be harmful.
Surely they weren't keeping everything only on GitHub, and had locally stored copies, right? Right?
"I came up with this strawman that people close to the situation didn't think of (probably because it isn't even close to being true), so I'm going to hold on my own strawman argument even though I have absolutely nothing to base it on."

There, fixed that for you.

Could it be that you're misinterpreting facts? No, it must be that those who have access to first- and second-hand accounts that are wrong. Not you, a person pulling out a hypothesis based off of less info nor any contact with any of the parties in the story.
by all means this is censorship. Let's not get confused here.

It is a private company doing the censorship but this is 100% in the definition of censorship.
What's crazy to me is how much this guy's living expenses appear to be, according to the chart here (https://danielvassallo.com/from-employee-to-bootstrapper/)

He is spending $15,000 a month on all of his expenses. That's just crazy to me!

If I was to quit my job right now and just go live in an apartment, my living expenses would be around $2-3K a month. For just one year's worth ($200K) of his spending budget, I could survive and work on my programming projects for literally 5 years.
No algorithms matching viewers. It's not ideal, sure, but freedom of opinion is a lot more important than Youtube being easy to use.

We can always go back to liveleak and vimeo. I think all the youtube I watch would be fine for an 8 year old and I think most of the people who use youtube are the same. The most popular platform should be the most innocuous. But there should be alternatives.

Good. Online radicalism is a thing.

To all the people here who are decrying this as “censorship”, remember that during the early 2010s, Islamic radicals were getting radicalized on YouTube by pretty benign sermons (Ex: Awlaki and his “tour of Paradise” lectures that inspired Boston 2013, fort hood and a bunch of other international attacks). YouTube removed all that out and I think Muslims getting radicalized on YouTube plummeted.

White supremacy is a much bigger deal with a worse tail risk than Islamic extremism. Don’t see why anyone would object to removal of Neo nazi content yet go along with the removal of wahabi sermons.
Have you considered that the system isn’t allowing people to contribute?
Any advice about which one of those packages to pick?
Unless otherwise regulated, yes, of course. No one should be forced to conduct business with another party.
I'm less familiar with them - I've certainly seen many plausible frequentist arguments, but I've never been exposed to any unifying framework which would require that one make decisions based on type-1 error rate controlling hypothesis tests. That's not to say such foundations don't exist, I'm just happy being a philosophical Bayesian who sometimes does frequentist or algorithmic/ML things for practical reasons.
What is the end game of this censorship nonsense? Do people really think that if they play whack-a-mole against every instance of speech you don't like online, it will improve the world somehow? How, exactly? Other people won't see it, so they won't be "infected" by it? What is the theory, exactly, because it always looks to me like an inane reactionary conclusion...something a mob would do.
YouTube/Google can already take down any video they like, for any reason, or for no reason at all. And they already do this literally all the time, ask any content creator with more than a handful of videos on the platform.

The only reason there is a press release for this particular event is for the inevitable positive press and media attention it will garner.

> These fines need to be a percentage of revenue (with a large floor). Not some random number that's a drop in the bucket for most corporations committing these crimes in the first place. As it stands, these fines are (in many instances) less expensive than correcting the issue that caused the fines in the first place.

Rather than fines, it is more effective to withdraw operating licenses (temporarily) and ask for corrective actions to be taken before operations resume.
It's an ongoing thing, and not just on YouTube. I see people popping on to Mastodon every day because they said, on their own timeline to people following them, that (for example) "transphobes can fall off a cliff." Banned for threats. Sometimes permanently. Most big instances have the :guillotine: and :trebuchet: emoji because of one such case.

This is way more than the few cases that float up into your attention. It's been going on for years across all these big silos. People who fully endorse actual censorship know they can abuse automated systems to silence marginalized people.
As an example, from LWN.net's FAQ under Advertising

"What happened to text ads?
The text ad facility allowed readers to place simple, text-oriented ads on the site. Use of this facility had been dropping over time; when we realized that nobody had bought an ad in over six months, we decided to remove the feature."

LWN would still sell you banner advertising, but they don't do text any more. As with other features that were killed because nobody used them, the interest of a single small buyer won't bring them back because it doesn't make any economic sense.
> Err, how do you know that the algorithm does this?

Youtube optimizes for watch time. Most people don't want to spend their afternoons having their views challenged.

Any algorithm that properly optimizes for watch time of the masses will learn to validate views.

I did school => work => now going back to school. Granted I didn’t study CS undergrad but taught myself a lot.

Since, I’ve learned and worked on some interesting problems. I want to work in big tech or in consulting. To do so, I need to be a lot better and/or have great grades.

So spending 2 years going back to school and improving seems worth it to me.

I have 0 student loans from undergrad and very minimal commitments as is.
Wouldn't that imply that the only reason comments might be removed from Hacker News is if they encourage violent, extremist political ideologies?
I don't think the other poster misses your point at all, but simply disagrees with it (as do I).
I'm still new to the all remote lifestyle, but so far I have really been loving it. I work for GitLab, which is entirely all remote and has no central office space. I suspect that may be different from a hybrid approach.

Aside from the benefits of being able to be around more with my family and to better handle life events, I've found that I enjoying working this way much more.

Working asynchronously forces people to really think about how and what they communicate. I've found that people, including myself, are much more prepared and thoughtful in their work.

I also find that there are way less distractions and that meetings with my coworkers are much more enjoyable. I thought I would have a hard time with the random 'coffee chat' but have come to really value them. It's a great way to be social and meet people, without the pressure of having to do it every day.

Agreed. There's an elevated responsibility to be more than just "normal people" when you have a gun and a badge. I don't think it's fair to paint in broad strokes, but I do think it's fair to hold police to a higher standard, especially when it comes to tribalism. When it becomes "us vs them" and "us" has guns and state-sanctioned authority, that's a problem.
Wouldn't that result in even more longevity, making the problem worse?
