I think you might be a bit confused. YouTube owes 100% of it's success to content creators. Without them, there would be no platform for advertisers to advertise. So no, YouTube is not an "advertising platform" and yes YouTube is a "hosting provider". A simplified version of the deal:

Content creators make content and post that content on YouTube. YouTube then makes money off of the advertising and gives the content creators a kick back encouraging them to continue creating content. YouTube then takes a portion of the left over money and spends it on server maintenance. The rest of it goes to YouTube employees. That was the deal and now YT is choosing to alter that deal under the noses of it's the community.

It's sort of like when a child grows up and has a great life due to the extreme generosity of its parents and then, once it learns to take care of itself, chooses to abandon those parents and claim complete responsibility for all of it's own success. At least that's how I see it.
i don't judge people by their age -- i've had absolutely amazing young coworkers and crazy shitty older ones (and the other way around).

i would 100% work at a place with younger people AND at a place with older people. it all depends on how the company's culture handled all this.

(and why you are interviewing the company as much as the company is interviewing you).
I haven’t read ar15.com but at first glance my thought was: “Why would you hurt yourself by filling your head with such nonsense instead of just reading all or part of some reputable news service?”

People don’t acknowledge the long-term costs (social or otherwise) of not making the right choice in this area. Spend too much time playing Sam Harris and now your wife is embarrassed to bring you to parties for fear of an outburst about Muslims. Read some other forum and now you’re fixated on weird parts of the news and an oddball narrative. Read an even worse forum and you’re dragged into political radicalization. These things happen everyday and we’re all at risk.
We're talking about selling on an Amazon listing which has the trademark on it, which isn't allowed. That's what I originally pointed out - that the wholesale price wasn't relevant because it's not for the trademarked product.
For you because you click on your links a lot. Your first page of relevancy is totally different for someone else -- from a different country, or county... or even just prior click history.

Google knows you want to click on that link. If your niche hobby had an ehow article how to do it, that'd be first for me I bet, unfortunately.
Web body mulls halving HTTPS cert lifetimes [to 13 months]
Reference: John Winthrop's City Upon a Hill sermon (https://www.americanyawp.com/reader/colliding-cultures/john-...).

The weird thing about the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_upon_a_Hill#Use_in_United...) is that the "use in United States politics" section only lists sources from 1961. I can remember the sermon showing up in my history books in the '70s; it surely didn't disappear for 300 years.
My favorite place to listen to psytrance was philosomatika.com, shut down by the RIAA in 2010, it's now back as http://www.philosomatika.fm/

As a former Amiga owner, I don't think it is unique to Amiga but rather it was an end of an era and nothing burned as bright as the Amiga at the end of that era. I called it the tinkerer era where home computers where not just a box but rather something to be tinkered with.

Resources where limited and hacks where abundant to make them perform miracles (in their day). Tinkering gave way to homogenization and the whole landscape got sterile. I felt the same loss as I did with Amiga when Symbolics started to fade from the landscape, then there was DEC, SGI, Atari, etc. etc. The era almost took Apple and NeXT with them. Some burnt out longer than others but they all started to die then and there. It really was an epoch shift in computing and I think that is what we all truly miss. We pin it on our favorite tech of the time, but in the end, it was just a cooler time to be in computing.
The cost of a $120k senior engineer in SF (which is cheap) is closer to $160k per year with benefits and taxes, which is $320k for 2 years... that's almost 1/5 their seed round! https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/kapwing#section-over...
They're not a resource. They are a living creature.
They look barely old enough to make the millennial cutoff.
I am the first employee and I am over 30, I guess Im looking good!
Yeah, I don't think tracking this type of data would improve worker productivity, and I think it could actually have the opposite effect of demoralizing employees.

However, I can definitely see some unethical companies being interested in this type of tracking, so I'm guessing there's a market for it.
Yeah, same boat. I'm a pretty naive investor and through my 401k have about 50% of my net worth invested in index funds with the other 50% in cash. Are there simple strategies to limit exposure other than "sell everything"?
This. I expected the 'Remote Hires' section would discuss why they needed a local dev, and why a virtual/home-based hire would not work. This section should have been named 'Outsourcing' - since that is what they actually discuss in that paragraph.

Indeed, hiring a fulltime offsite employee is very different from outsourcing to a 3rd party.

This is just in the 'initial discussion' phase:

> CA/Browser Forum – an industry body of web browser makers, software developers, and security certificate issuers – is considering slashing the lifetime of HTTPS certs from 27 months to 13 months.

> The plan, floated at a meeting by Googler Ryan Sleevi earlier this year and still in its draft stages, comes just one year after the lifetime maximum for certificates was lowered from 39 months to 27 months. There is no word yet on when a vote may take place.

Digicert is against it:

This is like saying that access to newspapers is a privilege and not a right. What use is free speech if there is no common medium on which to distribute it? This is another case of people blaming the tool instead of the people that are doing bad things.
You are arguing that there is anything resembling a perfect market for YouTube video content. Talk about a departure from reality.
RIP humanity/world. We had a good run

Supposedly it's even in the water. Measured in Germany by german labs. They're introduced by cosmetics like the abrasive perls some cosmetics use.
I'm not even sure why it gets pushed as "functional"; I mean, you can pass and return functions, but that's really not the point of the language like it is with ML or Haskell. It's primarily a symbolic language.
OK I'll have a go, but others will be able to do a better job than me!

Yes, you might like lisp and I definitely think it's worth trying. You often hear people saying "lisp has no syntax" and that's one of the main things about lisp. I think a good first step is to understand what people mean by that. You know the way a compiler or interpreter, after tokenizing and parsing, transforms code into an intermediate data structure representation called an "abstract syntax tree"? What they mean is that lisp is like jumping straight in at the AST stage. You're literally programming with data structures, instead of programming with syntax that gets turned into data structures. People find that a very rewarding intellectual/mental experience. It really teaches you that the words "statement" and "expression" mean different things. And it shows you a way of programming without a lot of "state" -- just expressions feeding into other expressions, without as much use of "local variables". More deeply, this is directly connected with formal ideas in mid-20th century theoretical computer science (in particular the "lambda calculus") about the minimal programming constructs needed to create a Turing complete language. In lisp it leads also to very powerful and somewhat mind-bending "macros" -- since code is data structure, you can very naturally write code to transform code, so the "final" code that is executed is partially the product of an initial execution phase where code is just working on code creating other code.

Having no syntax (or minimal, languages like clojure introduce a bit with square and smooth parens etc) means you basically just write expressions grouped by smooth parens. It's very beautiful and minimal experience to write. Just, seriously, do it with an editor/IDE that inserts paired parens for you, it promises to be a great experience with that, but without it a lot of people just give up saying why do they have to keep writing so many parens, which is missing the point entirely -- The parens are the fabric of the program!
Everybody looks so young haha, I say this as a 29 year old.
So what you're saying is there already is a union for content creators, they just need to join it.

That seems like a way better approach. All content creators on the internet should join the same union -- preferably one that already exists -- rather than recreate a wheel that will water down their message.
Having gone on the journey of trying to spend the absolute minimum on recruiting to now effectively not caring what recruiters charge I think that paying, say, 15k for a strong senior engineer is a bargain. Stop wasting time generating leads at a pitiful rate, pay a pro to do it and concentrate on actually running your team and shipping product.

More trance than psytrance, but I recently stumbled onto Above and Beyond and their Anjunabeats label. I had no idea people were still making trance that feels like a continuation of the stuff I listened to in the late 90s. It's great!
Well, the pile of money that exists is much, much smaller than the value of everything in the economy. So at some level, it's not possible to convert your holdings to cash and sit on it. You need to hold "cash" in the form of bonds.

Even if you could hold paper cash, you'd still need to store and secure it, which costs money.

When looked at through that lens, it makes more sense. Rather than giving someone a loan that you expect to get paid for the risk, you're asking them to hold your money for a while, and they are expecting to get paid for the risk (of having to pay you back more in real terms than you lent them).
How is that feasible? Adopting a more or less complex codebase of random projects that you probably have little interest in, have they got any success story that goes beyond the good intentions?
I feel like it is inevitable that any back door you legislate ... will get more use out of enemies of that given state than the state itself.

Any state with strong individual rights and courts will be limited in their usage to some extent. Outside actors, unlimited.
If:

* the pay is great

* work/life balance is sane

* the CEO/your direct manager has a family/children

then of course.
Did you even read to the end of that paragraph? It's immediately followed with "Measured by hours, recruiting is one of our largest investments"
> content creators are NOT customers

Sure they are customers, i 'm sure if you search their Tos they will even call them customers. If they don't then they have to consider them employees, pay benefits etc. (Similarly to how Uber's clients are its drivers)

> YouTube servers don't grow in the wild

They do, youtube is losing money and is only kept alive because google pays for it. They make money indirectly even when demonetized videos are viewed, since they keep users returning to the site. Google has an anti-competitive interest to keep running youtube, they are not doing charity.
Why limit yourself to wasting money renting out pointless physical offices?
Thanks for your question! We decided to do this model, because we originally sold our predictions and analytics to larger investment funds, but we noticed that when our predictions came true, we left so much money on the table. The funds were making millions of dollars on one deal and they were never going to give us any percentage of that.

It was also really hard to convince a lot of these people who were operating on "gut feelings". In January of this year, we made the prediction that Compton, LA was going to see an increase in growth. We told these bigger funds and they literally laughed at us during the meeting. Fast forward to today, and some of the properties in the micro-neighborhood we forecasted showed an 18% growth in price in just 7 months.

So we decided that consumers might find what we are building to be more valuable, and they would be more open to sharing the profit with us if our predictions came true.

Our added benefit is really finding neighborhoods that people overlook, but have high growth potential. Realistically, without our platform, I would have never known about the growth or be interested in Compton, LA either.

Right now, there is a paywall to view the listings. It's $100/month, but you may cancel at any point. Additionally, if you end up signing a contract with us, we refund you all the money you've paid up to that point. If people do not do the contract with us, then they would also not be offered the downside protection.

I love hearing about people's own unique technical method for finding properties! Were you able to invest in any properties using your method?
That's my feeling yes, but I would check with other people, too!
I would guess the amount of people who care enough, and are able to successfully disable all Telemetry, and prevent it from being re-enabled is so small that Microsoft doesn't care.

I would also be willing to bet that the majority of people who have it "disabled" are still sending back plenty of Telemetry. If you really care, your best option is to just not use Windows.
From the photo I'm guessing you started your hiring process with:

1. Throw away any resumes from old people
I keep thinking we're finding out the answer to the great filter problem every day. It's hubris.
>Measured by hours, recruiting is one of our largest investments.

That's literally the next sentence of the article after “We spent less than $1,000 on hiring." The article explicitly acknowledges this issue.
Any over 40?

For scenario #1 I'm so happy the A7S2 has a dedicated EV correction wheel plus it can do really fast exposure bracket photography.

Built-in HDR is also decent - no match for manual work in PS/LR, but usable.
Only if you have Remote Desktop Connection (RDS) enabled and exposed to the open internet. Which you shouldn't.

To quote the CVE:

If you're using a VPN or RD Gateway which have been best practice for tens of years, you're already insulated. I'd still patch but outside of business hours.
I think a better analogy here would be, if you pretend to be someone and break into that person's home, you might find more information that allows you to pretend to be that person better to break into his office, and then you might even find enough info to pretend your way into a military base.
Why did you move to the United States? Did you throw a dart at a map and come to the US because it occupies a big chunk of North America? Or are there reasons that do involve the country's history?

No one who eats meat can hold a moral position higher than the butcher, even if they don't work in the slaughterhouse.
I know we all have an impulse to take the easy path. But please think about what if you happen to be wrong, how a person would feel if he’s labeled a liar/paid troll for having an account that looks suspicious to some, and what meaningful discussion we can have if we just call each other liars?
Or let's forget a fetish. Let's just say they sent someone a nude. Or how about an inappropriate joke (in or out of context)? These are pretty common things that people do and can easily be used as blackmail. Everyone has things that they are embarrassed about.
Is that what you had in mind?

That's exactly what I would have liked to see, yes.
There are no good, open alternatives that are widely used.

Funny, the article says a CTR of 4.42% is average. Yet my 5% CTR for my own domain name, Google Adwords charges me upwards of $0.50/click, and says I'm penalized (higher cost) because of low engagement.

This is for keywords with no competition, which makes me a bit bitter because I have a substantial negative ROI. I can understand that Google wants to prevent arbitrage spam, but I just last week decided to cut my adwords spend to almost nothing because it's not getting better over time.
When you look at some of the ideas that are being done you have to think that the idea here is simply the investors are funding acquihire special purpose vehicle (for lack of a better way to put it). That is they invest in a company that they know has less than a solid chance of working out long term because of a good idea (or even forking to a better idea). And they know this. Then what happens is they have one of their other investments acquire the company a few years later as well as the fully vetted workforce.
If I were to build a "modern device", UEFI would be the last thing I'd want to put on it. I don't want to worry about exploits below ring 0 with a proprietary mess of binary blobs that lock me out of my own hardware.
This is not relevant directly to the subject but perhaps someone in formal langs can help me. I'm interested in optimisation of (necessarily) pure functional langs. Starting with deforesting (the elimination of intermediate structures) eg.

map(f, map(g, list(1, 2, 3)))

can be optimised trivially by a human to

map(f.g, list(1, 2, 3))

(where f.g is functional composition) but I want to do this automatically, and the first step is to play with it. I've defined defined stuff on paper then started substituting but it's slow and, being me, error prone, when done with paper and pen.

Does anyone know of a symbolic manipulation software for haskell, or similar syntax (prefer to avoid lisp syntax if poss, but ok if nothing else) which will allow me to do this easily and get a feel for it?

Thanks
Freedom means you get to pick the rules; they can't be imposed on you by others. The thing is, you can't pick one set of rules for yourself and a different set for everyone else. Whatever rules you choose to live by must apply equally to everyone. Don't like private property? Fine, but you can't object when others retaliate by seizing the fruits of your labor. Think kidnapping for ransom is harmless fun? Locking you up in prison is essentially the same thing.

The problem is when certain people want others to live by their rules and are willing to apply disproportionate force to get their way. Capital punishment for theft, fines and imprisonment for copyright infringement, penalties for refusing to aid an official investigation, etc.
they’re measuring hours not actual dollars
>Perhaps I'm blinded, but almost every social story in America today is connected back to the effects of slavery and racism.

What does climate change denialism have to do with slavery? How about gay marriage activists? Gender fluidity?

It sounds like you're spending too much time in an echo chamber. I suggest you step outside for a bit to see other burning social issues.
You are looking at that sentence too literally/technically. As a reader, I never considered it to mean "they remove novels when they don't like the story". Instead, from the tone, context (an internet discussion) and knowledge of how the list is likely to work, it seemed likely to me that the link would refer to one or more books being removed for political reasons.

The words OP used are not precise, but they aren't wrong either - they communicate how he feels about the incident in question.

Out of curiousity I did just that. And aside from skin tone, I got identical sets of people in khakis and button-downs hugging in front of houses, white picket fences, and couches. And found interracial families under black, but not white.

your time getting updates from Albert J. Random. The problem is getting bombarded by videos and other social-media-tailored content Albert (or any of the other people you've spent 5 minutes with in your life) didn't create but just happened to like or share.

The only thing that interests me on Facebook is what my "friends" have originated. My interest and time spent have declined in direct correlation with the amount of said content.
