I can say from experience this does not work at scale. YouTube has allowed large public accounts to be in blatant violation of the terms of service. They are selectively enforced.
There's tons of other video sites that people are free to use. Nobody "requires" you to use YouTube.

"But more people are there, my videos won't be see elsewhere!" does not count as a monopoly.

Host your videos elsewhere, nobody's "owed" access to Youtube.
Jefferson was the assigned leader of the committee that wrote the declaration. It's really more accurate to say he was the editor.

It's not universal opinion, but it's very likely that most of the declaration, especially the most-quoted parts ("inalienable rights", "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", etc.) were written by Thomas Paine. However as a very recent immigrant from England, crediting Paine would have been politically unthinkable.
At least in real life you get a chance to face your opponent, even if it's a goliath and david mismatched weight-class scenario. An angry mob may be outgunned by the police, but at least they can still throw bricks. What can realistically be done online to hurt Google? Does there exist a digital brick heavy enough for google to even notice you throwing it?
No, I've never heard of that, and just a suggestion, but you should think twice before assuming what someone might be implying, especially if it can any way be insinuated as a defense of "literal Nazis". (versus, what, figurative nazis?)

My point is that it logically follows that people being banned from YouTube is fundamentally the same thing as being banned from another layer of the communication stack, whether it be the web host, the ISP, the telecom, the payment processor, etc.

Hell, why even stop at the technology stack? Maybe apartment complexes shouldn't rent to people with unpopular views. Perhaps grocery stores should refuse to sell food to those who say bad things about the LGBTQ+ community. /s

> Political party is not a protected class and nobody is guaranteed any internet service until internet service is deemed a human right.

Do you see the problem with this? When the internet is the virtual town square and the way to mass communicate, having no protections for free speech by either individuals or groups is a recipe for tyranny. Maybe this doesn't feel concerning to those whose views are currently the popular ones, but with the centralization of the internet and our increasing dependence on it for everything, that's a fascistic situation waiting to develop.

Just as we allow private businesses to have their own rules and practices, while simultaneously forbidding privately-owned cities from violating the US Constitution, there should come a point where the "private business" excuse is no longer valid once a small group of corporations have a stranglehold over the way that everyone communicates.
Great stuff. Also a big fan of OpenBSD, but what put me off eventually is lack of VMs, Wine and... speed. On Thinkpad T410 (ancient) it was noticeably slower than FreeBSD almost on any task, especially video playback in the browser. Not really related to the file system use. Perhaps, the effect is not as pronounced on CPUs of these days. Software selection was also a little claustrophobic.

I'm now using FreeBSD as my main machine for almost a year - really happy with the outcome, but even there some areas, like neural networks for example, are difficult. (But Keras and Theano are there!)

In many aspects OpenBSD was amazing. It needed very little tinkering with to get running properly, configs and ps ax were super-clean. Amazing environment.
These kind of core communication platforms are way too important to leave in the hands of a single private company :(

Fungal networks act as a communication web. All plants are part fungi. The layer of mycelium in the dirt is both a digestive tract and a lung. We carry our stomachs, intestines, and lungs in sacks called bodies as we walk around, fungi are laid down instead. Fascinatingly, mycelium break down rocks and create soil from stone. Fungal networks will also allow inter-plant communication for insect-warding chemicals to be released, and also fungi will decomposition logs which provide bees with vital Cytochrome P450 action that cleanses their system of virii.
Videos that involve weaponry are already either banned outright or heavily hidden and demonetized on YouTube. There was a channel (not sure if it still exists) that was about making different kinds of slingshots. SLINGSHOTS. And YouTube came for them a few years ago. The content was popular and the audience loved it. Google, however, did not. They declared it in violation of their community guidelines and swiftly stripped away the creators livelihood.

It's important to realize that we're not just talking about "oh some entertainment is no longer available" here but, in most cases, someone or groups of people just went from being able to feed their families to not.
Doesn't work for blocks that contain nested indentation levels, but are themselves positioned from something aligned:

(long-function-name (lambda (arg ...)
(let ()
(...)))
more args ...)

That (lambda ...) doesn't start on a tab-established indentation; it's an argument to long-function-call. But inside the (let ...), it's indentation as usual. If we rename long-function-name, to something that is one character longer, the whole lambda block moves one character to the right.

If you think this is just Lisp, think again; thanks to its influence, such patterns are showing up all over the place in numerous languages.
There is one nice thing about R core's focus on maintaining backwards compatibility, however: code from a decade ago (more often than not) will run without a hiccup on current versions of R.

1. Engineering constraint: the camera is not as sensitive to light as humans

2. Workaround: it emits a flash which creates an undesirable side effect

3. Fix: we clean up in software

Is like?

1. Engineering constraint: The camera can't be positioned behind the LCD panel the user is actually looking at

2. Workaround: it's placed 1 inch above which creates an undesirable side effect

3. Fix: we clean it up in software

In both cases we get closer to where we'd be if the engineering constraint did not exist.

I don't think it's ever possible. The closest you can get is to pay someone else to do your ops, but then that's not really what you meant.

The serverless framework gets you pretty dang close to no-ops though. You write your config, you write your code, you deploy and it just sort of works. Until you hit massive scale, and then you start needing to "operate" your serverless setup.

Of course, serverless (the company) provides a commercial product to help you with that.

This is anecdotal and people should be extremely cautious if they have RC injuries. Talk to a pro, look into proper exercise progressions, and start with baby steps even if you feel strong enough not to. But:

My right shoulder was a piece of trash for over 5 years. I couldn't use my trackpad or mouse some days at work because it became incredibly hot and excruciating. I couldn't throw rocks at the beach, ride my bike as far as I wanted, drive in comfort, you name it. Just standing could be incredibly painful if my shoulder needed rest. You don't know how awesome shoulders are until they stop working.

One day I decided to try the exercise route after avoiding it for a very long time. I did because someone shared an anecdote of exercise helping on reddit. I started a pull up progression using elastic straps to assist at first. I did push ups from my knees. I started doing stretches in door ways and on a big inflatable ball. I rolled myself on a lacrosse ball like the cross fitters do. If it fixes them it'll fix anything, right?

Within a year I was 'cured'. I was doing pull ups with a 45lb plate strapped to my body and push ups with the same plate resting on my back. I began weight lifting fairly seriously and made it up to a 400lb deadlift by the second year. My shoulder was a limiter in my first year, but once I took up yoga as well it never bothered me again.

Now, having said that, this all took a lot of time, energy, and will power. It's not easy and it's not a silver bullet. Your body will strengthen though and you can overcome biomechanical issues by working the system carefully, methodically, consistently, and with good sleep and nutrition.

But again, don't jump into it and don't expect it to be easy. My experience was positive in the end, but it's a total dog along the way. If you have the money, find a trainer who understands injuries and recovery. Get on a program and commit. The best thing you can do for your body is use it. But never go too hard, and go as slow as you can handle at first. You can make it so much worse in one little moment of overdoing it.

Hopefully someone is motivated by my anecdote because someone sharing theirs on reddit ten years ago really did change my life.

Such as, for instance, a business 51% owned by a disabled, veteran, and Native American woman, that takes a percentage and then subcontracts all their work to a public company controlled by old, able-bodied, and white men.

A reply to you makes the unsubstantiated claim that YouTube is a profit-seeking company. They ignore the fact that, no, YouTube has not operated as a profit-seeking company. The reason YouTube is, and will remain, the pre-eminent video platform is because it was run at a profound loss for over a decade, losing hundreds of millions of dollars at a clip, for no reason other than to totally suppress competition. Framing them as some kind of capitalist company is genuinely false.

If you wish to build a competitor to YouTube, your first task is to secure a billion dollars or so to build a competitive infrastructure with investors who are prepared to lose money on its operation for no less than a decade and quite possibly forever (or until Google goes bankrupt).

> I don't think this changes the idea that the slippery slope is a silly argument.

Why? "slippery slope" holds when each change makes it easier to enact further change in the same direction, and that seems to be the case here. "censor CP" + "censor porn" is an easier sell than the original "censor CP" step was, thanks to infrastructure already being in place. Adding copyright on top of that was easier still. And then violent content, and then aid to terrorism, and then politics we don't like, and gun repair videos, and ammo reloading, and...

Now we're at "hacking instructions", which is a hell of a way down that slope.

> We're not sliding down the slope just yet. We took a step too low and need to climb back up.

Perhaps we're running down the slope and not sliding, but that doesn't increase the chance we're about to turn around.

Question
Hi there. Can I ask questions about python and django on your site ?
EDIT: Apologies for the rant, went a little overboard oh well.

For the overwhelming majority of heavy hitting chronic diseases (Diabetes T2, Obesity, Heart Attacks, even likely cancer). They are completely preventable though diet and other lifestyle changes.

Good food, grass fed meat, fish and fresh vegetables aren't that expensive people could afford it if they thought it was an actual priority. For those suffering from weight problems (In the UK the obesity rate is 27%! [1] Not even the overweight) I'd recommend for them to cut down on their frequency of meals and ensure that the one or two meals they have are healthy (Very low fructose, nutrient dense, keeps insulin low e.t.c.)

It's the same with exercising, a gym membership isn't that much money cheap gyms exist. But you don't even need any money to do some simple body weight exercises, depending on what you do and your fitness level it can literally take 10 minutes.

So it's not a lack of time or money for anyone but the absolute poorest, people just don't seem to care that much. I really don't know why ?

[1] https://files.digital.nhs.uk/publication/0/0/obes-phys-acti-...
Yeah, for most people who aren't obsessive calorie counters I really think eating more fibrous vegetables is the best way for them to make a healthy lifestyle change that would allow them to lose weight / maintain a healthy weight. I do it every time I go on a diet/cut. You can feel just as full eating 1lb of broccoli with a moderate amount of butter and salt (about 300kcal) as you do eating an entire bag of chips (about 1500 kcal).

And making the broccoli is almost as convenient: you can get microwaveable bags that you just zap for x amount of time, empty into a bowl with some butter, add salt, mix and enjoy. Two minutes of actual effort, 10 minutes total time.

I think a lot of it has to do with the way we arrange food in stores, profit margins for food producing businesses, availability (you can't usually get frozen broccoli at a gas station), what food gets marketed, etc. Really if you put even a small amount of effort in getting veggies to taste good they taste as good as most junk food and processed food. It may never taste as good as spicy cheese flavored corn chips but is still pretty good

> At the most abstract interpretation I think consciousness can be defined as a closed system that contain both input and output, in which information is gathered and alters some component of the system itself.

This seems like a reductio ad absurdum definition of consciousness, to echo rotrux's "By this definition my air conditioning system is conscious" comment.

Consciousness may be hard to define, but it certainly is something that at least appears "special", and I think it's a big mistake to not include at least some level of self-awareness in the definition.
