> All countries already have laws regulating speech to various degrees of freedom.

This is mostly unrelated to what I'm talking about.

> The topic at hand is about monetization of ads

That's one (important) aspect of "YouTube’s LGBTQ Problem", but it is not the only issue. As others have mentioned, some of Google's attempts to "fix" the problem have, for example, been used as a weapon by various hate groups to get LGBTQ channels deleted (not just demonetized), or by fascists to remove anti-fascist reporting.

> the "acceptability" of the content is determined by the ad buyers

A big part of the problem is that this isn't actually true in practice. The "acceptability" of content is determined by Google's algorithm. They chose to use an opaque algorithm that they hope implements a very good approximation of what ad buyers consider "acceptable". As we've seen many times over the last few years, this has resulted in problems on all sides, including ad buyers.

> it's just the market

"just" a market ignores that markets are created in an legal environment that can be modified (e.g. adding, modifying, or removing regulations or policies)

> The problem here is about execution not policy.

The problem for Google is that they are choosing to have any policy at all. They are implementing opaque policies and thus are the only party that can be responsible for the resulting mess.

> The plaintiffs argue

Not relevant to my point;' I'm addressing the fundamental problem with Google's management of youtube (or similar platforms), not any particular case.

> Are you suggesting that Google should create additional authority to regulate itself beyond what is legally required and needed for their business?

More or less, yes. If decisions about monetization, video censorship, channel deletion, etc are going to be made, they need to happen through some kind of well-defined due process (aka being "ruled by laws"). Google could define that process unilaterally - which would be a major improvement from the current opaque and arbitrary status quo - but the best option would be to start some type of open/public entity/process for creating and managing what is meant by "due process on youtube".

> create some expert panel that can compel Google to censor certain content?

That already exists! That panel is whatever group inside Google chose the algorithm(s) that has been demonetizing and/or censoring videos over the last few years. I'm suggesting that transparent, publicly accountable panel is better than a hidden panel of unknown Google employees. Yes, both types will have problems, but at least we can see and attempt to fix the panel when it is public.
You actually have that option but there is a limit to how much you can delay - I'm not familiar with US regulation but in most jurisdictions I know about you could delay for max 3 months after your public submission (mostly due to the fact that you present quarterly numbers on the prospectus, which means you need to update it X days after closing the quarter).

GTM is something which shouldn't exist in the first place. Adding a script to your website is something that should be going through your usual release process.

But avoiding that release process is also the reason why some deparments usually want GTM. It allows them to give GTM access to other people who can then inject stuff into your site.
Once you have GTM you can let marketing / ad agencies add their own tracking points and other fun stuff to your site quickly. This unfortunately sounds like a great idea to marketing people.

Hmm. I wonder how the protesters know who to trust in their Telegram groups and on LIHKG. There has to be a core of organizers, however anonymous they may appear to be.

Is there a way to track metadata exhaust from telegram for building a social graph or xss lihkg? Could be a way to ID them.
I went into Data Science after grad school 5 years ago.

If it had been as difficult then as it is now I would probably have chosen software engineering.

Honestly, I feel software engineering might be better anyway as it's much easier to demonstrate value building features and shipping products rather than endless analysis and questionable models.

Because in EU, to reach the consensus or any agreement on anything, between all countries and then to review that 1000 times through million of EU Commissions, takes decades :)

They first have to love each other, to have common goals and then maybe something will happen. Right now most of the EU countries are there because of the cheap loans, donations, cheap work force and free exchange of resources. Once that flow is stopped, EU will be the past. EU is simply not operating as a one unit, it's not balanced union, that's why I think there has to be some mindset change in order to move the EU forward and to bring big projects to reality.

One of the downsides, depending on implementation mostly of course, that you still need JS to render your component. I prefer server-side rendered HTML over both React and web components because of the compatibility.

After showing the HTML you can still make elements more interactive with things like jQuery, Stimulus or Freudjs (disclaimer: my own)

Moore's Law Is Not Dead
Scaling is a pretty common objection in this kind of articles but I have a hard time understanding the reasoning for it. Scaling is always an issue regardless of what the new technology is so the question is then if there is specific reasons to doubt that scaling can not be solved.

To compare two different tactics to reduce global warming, electric cars and seaweed for cows. It sound as a much easier job to grow seaweed compared to the electrification of the transport sector by scaling up electric engines and battery production, and we (as a human species) are pretty sure the later will happen regardless because we can't continue to burn fossil fuels.
Any such order would fall to the Sargent at Arms of the House.

The Sgt. at Arms sits on the board of the US Capitol Police (USCP) and has the authority to request mutual aid from the USCP chief of police.

The USCP does arrest individuals on a semi-frequent basis and places them in holding cells at its headquarters building on D Street Northeast. They can also be held at the DC Department of Corrections' Central Detention Facility on D Street Southeast under USCP authority, just as if they were arrested by any other law enforcement agency in DC.

tl;dr: The House has approximately 2,200 officers and at least a hundred beds at its disposal.

Planet Money had an episode about "revenue-neutral carbon tax", where all the money collected is returned back to the tax payers, to spend however they want.

The point of this tax is not to raise money, but to change behavior. This, a family that drives to work and school every day will pay more carbon tax, but this will be offset by the tax refund (or lower income tax). And a family that finds ways to reduce their carbon footprint will benefit from the tax refund and able to spend it on other things.

WA state had a carbon tax initiative but the revenues went to environmental efforts, and it failed. I think if it were made revenue-neutral, or heck, even made as an overall tax-cut to please the fiscal conservatives, I think it would pass (although it would face pushback from environmentally minded about not doing enough).

> Deciding to turn off all nuclear power plants within a few years as a response to the Fukushima accident

The end of nuclear was decided and agreed long before that. Fukushima just made it clear to the remaining sceptic conservative party that that decision was right.
Maybe. I personally think it's silly. Still, that's where I think the critique comes from.
Metal shaders != Metal API. Metal API is Obj-C. Metal shaders are written in MSL (Metal Shading Language). C++ is still not involved, though MSL is admittedly based on C++.

We already know we can produce jet fuel from captured CO2 from the air. The trick is making it cheaper, particularly energy-wise. We can't dedicate half the world for solar panels to make fuel.
Y'know, we're supposed to try to look at comments on this site in a charitable way since it's hard to convey tone with text.

I was actually disagreeing with the idea that 9-5 jobs need to be soul-sucking, and speaking from the perspective of someone who is able to decide what I work on.

But it's important to understand why some people hate their situations and feel unable to escape them. Poverty traps are real, especially in the United States, and we should be doing more as a society to help people escape them.

Also, I disagree that having a job is inherently something to be grateful for. Having a job is something to be paid for.
Quite the opposite - it would completely prevent me from performing my favourite party trick. (/s)
Skeptical science remark:

This whole "if cows eat seaweed that'll vastly reduce their carbon footprint" is based on a single study with 12 cows.

If you take into consideration that especially small, never replicated studies often don't hold up to scrunity the next thing to do is not to ask how to produce the seaweed. The next reasonable step would be to try to replicate this study in a larger sample (and probably also with a larger variety of cow breeds).
This is a flawed argument.

Nobody wrote that therapy is a universal panacea (I wrote "approach", which is an entirely different concept).

Also, you clearly don't know how therapy works. It's not something can "do" "anytime anything happens", like going to the car mechanic, in particular, because therapy takes a (at least relatively) long time to have effects.

The idea to go to therapy in cases like this is actually based on the opposite of what you wrote:

1. that the event is exceptional (it's not "anything")

2. that there is a pathological context (addiction)

3. more subtly, that there is at the very least a communication issue in the family
But doesn't the animal save you time. The animal essentially consumes these things for you so you don't have to.
I bet this is unfortunately, uncomfortably true. There are major behavioral changes needed that can't be left to incentives or voluntary changes when survival is at stake. ICEs, meat agriculture, airline travel, unconfined clinker manufacturing and fossil fuel extraction must end if we're to survive this climate emergency. In addition, Be/CCS must happen, such as ferrous ocean seeding and seaweed extraction for contained burning with underground carbon emissions sequestration. Mexico is already dealing with an incredible volume of seaweed arriving daily on prime tourist beaches... which would be perfect for CCS if we were to burn it to generate power, reduce its volume and bury captured emissions very deep.
We're not allowed humour now?
Not actually sure what your point is either.
Then you’d have to either write the accent on the e (which is not user friendly) or name it “pokesay” which could me confusing (as in poking someone). I think this is a good utility name.
> France imports very cheap electricity from Germany when wind/solar works very well

or when nuclear doesn't deliver enough electricity. Like in cold winters (high demand) or hot summers (low production).
I like it, but why do I have to give my email for emission calculation? It's off-putting, I don't want even more spam. And I will tell them where do I live and how, will they package it with my email and sell it to ad companies as a handy profile?

Sorry to be paranoid, but most startups (uber, airbnb, paypal, not to mention facebook ...) are evil and exploitative.
This is some serious “too interested in seeing if you could, and not stopping to wonder if you should” content. What possible positives are there in exploring how to de-anonymize people whose life and freedom requires anonymity, and who are fighting the good fight?
The coal industry just employs 20.000 people in Germany according to their own statistics (https://www.braunkohle.de/4-0-Zahlen-und-Fakten.html), of which two third will retire soon anyway, so it's hardly a critical industry I'd say. Politicians had no problem shutting down the black coal production either and it seems that didn't affect much the "identity of the labor class" in the affected regions (at least not mine as I'm from such a region with both of my grandfathers working in coal mines).

What we should have done is to really push renewable energy much sooner and in a more systematic way, then we could mostly be off nuclear and coal energy sources by now. The "Energiewende" politics of the Green party / SPD e.g. involving - among other things - large-scale subsidies on private photovoltaics plants wasn't really a viable strategy (IMHO) and more a way to hand good investment opportunities to upper middle-class / upper-class households (in the early days of solar subsidies people could earn more than 10 % interest rate, guaranteed over 10 years or longer).
These are all valid points, but it cannot be the explanation because the anxiety in teenage girls happens before there are any meaningful romantic relationships.
I am pretty sure that growing rice requires land, water, and transport.
And I do not think cows eat human food nor humans would be very pleased to eat what cows eat.
> What's so hard you find about OCaml or FP in general you haven't had to deal with in your day-to-day imperative programming?

I guess I still find FP very abstract as a concept. I'm starting to like the notion of immutability as a design goal. But then I'm the kind of sicko who enjoys assembly language to some degree, where practically every instruction has a side effect, whether it be assigning a value to a register, or setting a bit in a flag register, or doing I/O whether port mapped or memory mapped.

> You mean you find OCaml making your head to explode after years of C and C++?

Not specifically OCaml, but most FP languages in general.
I find the OCaml code posted up a couple of levels to be very hard to understand. But I'm very used to the POSIX interface and honestly programming against much else tends to get me out of my comfort zone a little too much. Shell, Perl and Python I can manage as well because I've been doing them so long, but I don't excel at those, particularly the latter two.

I think the paper referenced in this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15179188) HN article ("Some were meant for C") captures my mindset very well. Some of us are just a bit broken as programmers.

I also enjoy the ubiquity of C compilers - knowing that I can program in it from anything from a microcontroller to a multicore CPU (even being able to use the same compiler version accross many platforms) is a huge boost.
It seems that the situation is pretty bad when cloud providers are so big they don't care about individual customers.

We're all joking about how creative you and the person mentioned in the article were.

It seems to have solved your issue and I'm happy for you.

However as we're all praising the irony and derision, really we're all sad of how broken the system is. Happy to finally be noticed as a customer is not the way a customer service should be.
I'm disappointed too! I was going to ask if this might work for us humans.
Well, Germany invested a zillion into a pebble-based thorium high-temperature reactor.

Technological marvel.

It didn't work reliable enough and was too costly. Closed down by the industry relatively silently...

There is a site for nuclear waste. It does not work as expected. It needs to be cleaned for a few zillions...

Nuclear is dead in Germany. Nobody wants it, it's too costly, it lacks critical solutions (like fuel reprocessing and nuclear waste storage), which also nobody wants to host.
Also because companies are absolutely terrified of something negative going viral. It's why they instantly ask you to DM them to take all discussion out of public view. It's amazing what a simple tweet can get you when all else fails (unless it's frontier com., then they straight up block you).

There's an assumption if you use human raters, you won't have false negatives or positives, but even human beings disagree over how to categorize speech, what's homophobic, what's legitimate sarcasm or irony, what is violent content.

In fact, on top of human raters exhibiting classification problems in the face of ambiguity, there is also the issue of bias. Radiolab on NPR had a great series on Facebook's human censors that shows it just opens up a different pandora's box.

There is no clear, non-messy way to do censorship that doesn't end up with a sizable number of people mad, and with some subset of people hit by accidental or deliberate false positives.

I'm afraid there's no easy answer and it will inherently be constant battle and fight between sides.
Yeah, it's back. Thanks!

Kale is a traditional food at Christmas in Sweden. I was surprised when I learned that it can survive in the winter, and that you harvest it by brushing away the snow. Snow even provides an insulating layer that protects the kale.
where does the methane go instead? there must be some trade off somewhere?
Yup, I misread that as "parent's lawyer". Yeah, if it's just a friend, uf. Sucks.
What about F*? It has dependant types, and is already in use in production at some places (there is a project of making a proved TLS implementation with it and it is quite advanced iirc).

Also, it is somewhat based on F# which is based on OCaml so I would bet that performance wise it can beat Haskell.

Read the memo. It's quite the opposite. The person who spoke up complained about how the protests the killing of an unarmed black man would impact traffic, and found the protests 'ridiculous'. Everybody else nodded.

This caused the black team member to feel unsafe and made him afraid to speak up or even mention that he was going to join the protests.

I wonder what special catering you think the black guy received in this situation.

If you read the OP it says that their support for FTP is already pretty limited. Doesn't support encrypted FTP (FTPS) or proxies. Kinda goes against the effort they're making to push encrypted connections with HTTP.

They'd have to spend time and effort getting their implementation up to scratch.

Kinda makes sense to scrap the FTP support as there's not much of a user base and leave it to dedicated software like FileZilla/WinSCP/CyberDuck etc. etc.
There's no such problems in France right now. There's much lower consumption in the summer, it's the time planned for maintenance, producing more would be useless and I don't recall any issue with the winter load.

The difference between fear and 'Angst' is that fear has a tangible object of which somebody can be afraid and 'Angst' doesn't.

So as far as I understand it, people are angsty because they feel afraid but they can't put their finger on the cause, so the only way to react is being angry at each and everybody.

From my point of view, people are using 'angsty' to distance themselves from a problem that they have chosen to ignore. E.g. there are some problems with global warming, but even now, you can ignore them by telling yourself that it's teenage angst that makes people care about it.
I was specifically referring to pyrolysis, where unlike steam reforming no oxygen is introduced and so the carbon comes out as solid graphite. Scaling the process, and running it in a continuous-operation reactor, is still an area of active engineering work (see e.g. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/d36a/ff0a2db0f99a92c2debd5b...), mostly focused on designing the physical system so that the solid carbon comes out nicely during the reaction instead of gunking up the works.
The automation they described sounds like automation of part of project management. why they are not selling that? :-D

Wood burning is not the only way to release that CO2 back into the atmosphere. Just cutting a tree and letting it decompose also releases the same carbon. You need to store it in wood form, or bury it deep.

The code is old, and hard to secure. It lives in the browser rather than a subprocess, so is unsandboxed.

The FTP protocol itself isn't a nice binary protocol - it was designed for humans to type by hand, so has a lot of flexibility, leading to a lot of corner cases in the code.

There is also the fact that the flexibility of FTP allows the browser to attack other devices on the local network. For example, I could navigate an iframe to FTP://evil_payload@127.0.0.1:3389, allowing me to send a possible exploit to your your machine, bypassing firewalls.

Considering how few people use it, and the risks it still poses to everyone, I can see why they want to get rid of it.
