This is almost literally the premise of an actual Black Mirror episode. While I do have some nest cameras, I'm likely never going to use them to resolve a family dispute, talking works for me.

I'd also feel uneasy at normalizing such surveillance for my kids. I'd like them to be able to sort a dispute without recourse to a video that won't always be there. Family disputes can often have an emotional dimension too, one that simply playing back a cold video account of the event won't resolve.
That is unfortunate, your condition. Sorry to hear you are going through that.

What I was referring to wasn't even rare conditions. Kaiser have many junior doctors that in many cases were not trained by reputable schools. Furthermore, they are the insurance company, so they already know which things they are willing to and not willing to even test for. They already know who will live and who will not in some cases. In my case, I had a serious G.I. issue. They poked my belly and "diagnosed" it as a virus. I ended up self researching and treating my issue with a myriad of "shotgun" approaches. I was lucky to figure it out on my own. Two years later after having finally left Kaiser, a real doctor was able to confirm what I was lucky enough to figure out. I am still going through the healing process to this day.

Almost all of my coworkers have horror stories of Kaiser misdiagnosing serious issues, in some cases leading to fatal results. They also trick people into believing non arbitration applies to negligence.

All of this said, there is not a single doctor in the United States that knows how to treat high blood pressure. I am learning how to do that on my own. All doctors can do is throw BP drugs at people and those are more dangerous than heroine. i.e. You can safely stop taking heroine. Stopping BP drugs will induce life threatening rebound. It is a very dangerous dependency. There are simple lab tests that can be done to find some of the root causes, but it takes arguing and nagging to get even one or two of them because they are going to have to argue with the insurance company. I've even offered to pay cash. And then there is the issue of most of the labs having really shady network security practices and leaking customer data. It really feels like a whole new industry is needed, something a level above hospitals.

While Google created that walled city, they also destroyed every other city into a pile of rubble after tapping into endless resources from a completely unrelated industry. YouTube had an unfair advantage over just about any other company trying to build something similar.

Google is famous for making things free until they are not, than your screwed. I like when they arbitrarily change rules about SEO, AMP's and such. Don't want to play by the new rules? No problem, you and your company will be thrown onto the scrap heap.

Cryptocurrency ops are so vastly different from running a social website that I can't even think of any overlap

I know nothing about how cryptocurrency works, but wouldn't social media outage sources like multiple server failures, hurricane, tornado, sliced fiber line, etc... affect the kind of cryptocurrency that Facebook is embarking on?

Or is there something in the "distributed" nature of cryptocurrency that makes it more resilient? Is Facebook using that model, too?

I'm sure that "consciousness" is carefully defined in the paper, but, from the article "...whether plants can think, learn, and intentionally choose their actions..." is a much easier position to debate than whether plants are in some sense aware of themselves, their environment and others like themselves, which is what I think of when I hear "consciousness".

If India was Syria, then it would be a bit more horrifying, as even simple rain harvesting wont solve the problem in Syria.

India is filled with problems, let me put it this way, if India was blessed with the amount of freshwater as Canada, India would still misuse it terribly.

Its a good thing there is no petroleum.

The problem here is not rain, or climate change or drought - but politics, corruption and bureaucracy. India needs its own Meji Restoration - some type of shock therapy - or else the suffering will just continue to get worse.

How do they combat that without being accused, as youtube is here, of censorship? Will they disallow child porn? How about videos advocating violence against specific people? How about obviously libelous videos, like ones claiming, say, Donald Trump is running a child prostitution ring from the basement of a pizza parlor? When they get sued for hosting such content, who is going to pay their legal bills?

I think with the power and influence these private companies wield and the huge effects they can have on society, the distinction between the standards we hold gov vs private to is arbitrary and only remain for historical reasons. It doesn't have to be that way just because it always was.

FWIW, SELinux is probably more widespread than you think. Fedora desktop is pretty popular, and has shipped with SELinux enabled by default for a while now. Now whether it has a usefully locked down ruleset for the scenario at hand, I couldn't say.
Devil's advocate: There's a very thin line between e.g. the Lockpicking Lawyer doing reviews of different padlock brands and e.g. an instructional video about how to break into someone's house. YouTube knows that if someone posts home invasion instructions, and then someone else watches those instructions and commits a crime, the news media will absolutely 100% blame YouTube, and politicians will jump on them to score points with the voters. Since it's essentially impossible to define a simple, objective difference between the Lockpicking Lawyer and instructional videos for actual crimes, YouTube needs to write broad policies that potentially cover both, and then rely on their discretion in individual cases.

Does this suck for everyone involved? Yes. Does YouTube have a choice about this? No.
A blockchain would work but is not necessary, and such a scheme would just pushes the storage and computational burden of the bookkeeping onto other users of the same chain. It still wouldn't help you if no provider were willing to honor your entitlement, which is what's going on here. You could achieve the same effect, and have a very similar set of failure modes, with digital signatures and emailing product keys or QR codes or whatnot into people's emails.

A few months ago, news broke that UltraViolet [1] would shut down. It was a meta-DRM scheme that, for all practical purposes, was equivalent to a mapping of 'Email Address' -> 'Set of Entitlements'. Various motion picture rightsholders and digital media-serving providers integrated with it, so your rights could be imported and exported into their central list and grow over time. Although the service cost money to run, its decommissioning and the aftermath of your entitlements is a question of political will, and not a question of any technical reality. Vudu is one of the very few providers through whom you can bridge your rights over to its competitor-turned-replacement, Disney's Movies Anywhere.

If there were the political will to do so, the damn hashmap of rights could've transferred directly, but it didn't. Altering the storage scheme would've altered the basic economics of UltraViolet's hosting, but it's not an armor against studio after studio withdrawing from issuing and honoring such rights, as it actually happened.

One effective way to protest this would be to report videos by high-profile companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google itself.

Take a few minutes to look for a video about Azure or AWS or GCP, or a video of a presentation at a conference around such things, and report it as Inappropriate content citing the relevant terms of service.

Be very careful only to report content that conforms to the above description — the point here is to show YouTube where they're wrong by forcing them into direct confrontation with their own vested interests.

Bonus irony points will be conceded to correctly flagging a Google Project Zero video, or a YouTube security team video, as in violation of the terms of service as stated.

Again, please do not do this indiscriminately. Use your judgement on how to create the maximum exposure of stupidity through honest and careful judgement of what obviously should be permitted and yet does not comply with the rules as stated today.

EDIT: Per commenters below — if you behave improperly and report a ton of videos inappropriately, you very well could get your account banned. If you're worried about this, report one video only. Be selective, use your single vote, and then move on.

In the past when porting netbsd to new architectures the approach was to first run a kernel with a binary compatibility layer to the existing operating system, be it something like OSF/1 or SunOS.

Not only was it doable, but people did it as a shortcut to getting a functional userland first.

It is easier on unix because they are similar to each other, but with enough persistence I believe Windows is possible too.

The steps are to get some kernel booting to a "native" userland, then add code to execute the simplest standalone Windows binary. Then when it makes a call to the kernel it will fail.

Generally tracing on Windows should give you a strong idea of what calls it makes to the kernel (I don't know, I have never developed on Windows, but probably it has something like ktrace/strace/etc.)

Once you can run a basic standalone programs, you try to add enough of a Windows userland to run bigger programs.

Once that's done, you can start to re-implement parts of the Windows userland. The symbols they export are public, you must implement all of them, and programs usually crash if you fail.

As for drivers, the Windows driver API is public, and other people have re-implemented it in the past. You can even pick up some of their work.

This is good news. Censorship should've been something with wide bipartisan opposition, but due to the way Google and others cynically (or accidentally) used partisan tricks to make half the populace clamor for their rights to be violated, like they did with Alex Jones and others, they've gotten away with their censorship to grand applause.

Moves like this are a great opportunity to finally develop bipartisan opposition to these corporations. People who've been wearing tribalistic blinders will say, "hey wait a minute, that's my voice you're shutting down, and I'm not a bad person." Even if they don't come to their senses from first principles, at least more of the burden of defending common liberties will now be shared on the shoulders of more people.

What stops creators from uploading to both? Sure, they miss out on some revenue when people watch their video on Vimeo rather than YouTube. But once they are getting a significant portion of their views on another platform, that would likely mean the alternative platform is popular enough to offer reasonable compensation to creators and they can eventually stop sharing content on YouTube.
Rather than supporting a proprietary product like sendy I would recommend using the far superior civicrm which is fully open source, has a great community around it (not used by marketers and seo-spammer-types but rather by ngo's)and is totally extensible to grow with your needs. It is simple to be GDPR compliant by default and is really easy to get started. It obviously has a far bigger scope but you don't need to take advantage of all that additional functionality.

I'm super concerned about this. I head up hacker education at HackerOne and the biggest part of that is Hacker101, which hosts all its videos on YouTube. I have the master files and could host them elsewhere, of course, but there's huge value in discoverability, which YouTube completely owns compared to any other platform. Definitely something that I'm going to have to keep an eye on, and be ready to adapt to if they end up enforcing this.

Probably referring most recently to the Project Veritas video where a Google exec talked about how they're going to work on "preventing the next Trump situation" and how if Google is broken up, the smaller companies won't have the resources to do that.

Lots of other such leaks and material also pointing to political manipulation by Google in this. There were some Congressional hearings about it recently.

The video was banned by both YouTube and Vimeo on some flimsy pretext. This by itself reinforces the image of a cabal of megacorporations consolidating control over public mindshare and, by extension, the government itself. Of course the mainstream media (CNN, NYT, WaPo, MSNBC, etc) also totally buried the story.

> come to terms with the clover

In particular, clover is good for the lawn as it is nitrogen-fixing. Some clover are much better at this than others, so you might even deliberately choose a clover for your lawn.

Clover used to be a standard part of the mix for lawns (maybe as long ago as Victorian times) for this reason, it helps make the lawn self-sustaining.

To me it looks weird to have a mono-culture lawn, like you're emulating a shag carpet.

Says you. The lawyers at my company, which does absolutely nothing with ads or publishing or anything related to ads at all, say otherwise.
Lets keep in mind that YouTube has been around for 14 years... In societal terms that's a relatively short amount of time to have a free platform where anyone can post their ideas, no matter how crazy or toxic.

Before that, you could blog.

Before that, you could stand on a street corner and yell, or maybe use a megaphone.

The platforms for broadcasting your message to a large audience were mostly gated, often by large corporations. TV, Newspaper, Radio, etc.

It seems to me that what we are seeing is more like reversion to the mean.

It was great in the early days of the internet, because the communities were small, and often self policing. But once they get large enough it's very easy for the noise to overwhelm the signal. This idea of absolute free speech didn't scale once the population got large enough.

I don't even use Facebook and Twitter anymore because of this. (I also generally opt out of ad supported anything)

I'm really not convinced that providing a cheap / free platform for anyone to amplify their message was actually a net good. Not anymore at least. Like I said, it doesn't scale.

Before, the crazy and toxic could yell on the street corner. Now they have Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to shout their conspiracy theories etc.

IMO, we're overdue for scaling some of that back.

There is the right to say and think whatever you want. That does not imply the right to have your message amplified to millions.

I agree, to a point, but I think part of the idea behind the platform -> publisher push is to force YouTube to start making hard choices, where they either become financially untenable trying to stay on top of all the content they're now somewhat legally culpable for, or they ramp up the censorship so quickly and so broadly as to annoy enough of the community to make other platforms viable.
There are alternatives. For years I've been following content creators who upload their content to multiple services because they saw the writing on the wall.
