> I'd bet creators would need to get perhaps 95%-99% of recent videos taken down

These are not factory workers or hotel cleaners. Videos are not fungible.

Hard to scab, especially in the short-term.
I think it's because those with political influence who espouse xenophobic views also tend to dislike the poor. "Taxpayer" as an identity has connotations of "only the landed gentry should have a voice in society's management", whereas "citizen" connotes equal rights and a voice in society regardless of income.

Well, it mentions an internet shutdown. I'd say that makes it better than the average article about the situation in Kashmir.
I'm not super clear on why speed was a primary goal if the intended application is upscaling anime. If this were intended for, say, sharpening the graphical output from a game console, sure, but why does premade video content like anime need upscaling that only takes 3ms instead of 6ms or even 60ms?
I'd appreciate you clarifying "eviscerate" here, if you mean you can convince them the earth is round then hooray - but there are some incredibly stubborn people out there so I really doubt your prowess... More likely I assume that by "eviscerate" you mean that you can walk away from the conversation feeling like it's impossible for a rational person to disagree with what you said - that's certainly a nice feeling for you but I strongly doubt you're having any significant impact on their beliefs.
Sure they do, they just outsource it to one of the all-in-one HR/Payroll startups or actual companies. Whether that results in startups having effective HR is a separate question.
Mmm, I think GP answered the question. Ends justify means.
> I think it is pretty clear that the Indian Government rushed into this because this is what their Hindu-nationalistic base wants - subdue the only Muslim Indian majority state.

Abrogation of Kashmir's special status has been a top agenda of the BJP for the past few decades. They are pretty big on "national unity", and they see the special status for Kashmir as going against this principle. They want Kashmir fully integrated into India once and for all. They also consider the indecision about Kashmir's status in India as being a prime cause for terrorism in that region. Kicking the muslims has very little to do with it.

Whether this step will backfire remains to be seen. Indians will have to ask some very tough questions about what kind of nation they want India to be, and whether the vision they come up with will be viable at all given the nature of the Indian society.

That's actually my situation exactly (3 young kids), and a part time role would be ideal. Especially now as I'm transitioning into being a single parent. I'm anticipating this change occurring on the scale of 2 years+ rather than months though, so I don't think it would be an issue for potential employers. I would likely be around for the average stay of an employee in tech.

I wasn't aware that's a common arrangement though, so thanks for that. I'll start looking for those opportunities as well, or asking about the opportunity during interviews.

This is not correct. Many productions are produced at in-between resolutions between 720p and 1080p and then upscaled to 1080p. It's even in the link you provided.
Defending the specific act of spying on foreign political influence isn't the same as defending the entire government, or even other actions related to that spying (such as the torture you mentioned).

By this logic, if someone 'bad' does anything, that anything can be claimed to be sinister and unreasonable, and any statements otherwise are "defending someone bad".
Yes, but presumably people have a say in the laws that let this happen?
Be careful: this is the exact same line of reasoning the alt-right uses to conclude ethnostates.

Or if you want to take the intersectionalist view to its conclusion: Maybe we should have a White President to govern white people, and a Black President to govern black people, and a Muslim President to govern Muslims, and a Fat President to govern fat people. Wait a second, what about fat white Muslims, shouldn't they have a different President than fat black Muslims? Degenerate down only a handful of dimensions over which people vary, and you'll need a President for every individual. Wait a second, we just rediscovered the concept of individual sovereignty.
How did your line of thinking go from "scientists find trace amounts of plastics in snow" to "the planet will soon be uninhabitable"? What makes this sort of apocalyptic thinking any more rational than a doomsday cult?
I have no issues as long as the device was not changed after it was sold.

Being able to disable the light was a feature, now it is not. I likely would have not bought these if the ability to disable the light was not a shipping feature.

And I would really not care if all new devices being activated did not have this feature. But I do care that my devices will stop working one way and start working another way.
> Without ads YouTube is worthless to Google. Nonmonetized content isn't bringing revenue to Google. S

Google gets huge volumes of valuable data with nearly every video that's uploaded. Google knows things like who the uploader is, what kind of people are in their home and their approximate ages, what clothes they wear, what products they buy, what pets they own, what interests they have.

They also get data on every visitor who views those videos, such as what their interests are or where/when/how often they watched a video or channel. All of that data makes their non-youtube ads more valuable because they can offer the guy watching videos on how to train a puppy dog food ads instead of ads for horse saddles. Youtube doesn't need ads to be a powerful tool for surveillance and data collection capable of bringing google revenue.

I agree that youtubers are getting something out of it too, mostly easier exposure and very simple hosting, but google needs content more than it needs one more place to shove their ads in our faces since much of the rest of the internet is happy to let google put their ads on their own websites.
> how precisely could attackers disable the light in any plausible ways?

The light is software controlled, as this very change clearly demonstrates. The fact Google can turn and off the light at a whim suggests an attacker could. Your defense of this being possible is based on a vague theory of infallible security.

You even seem to use a fictional quote to that end:

> What other methods besides “issue Google-signed firmware to the device” are you implying exist

Who are you quoting? What are you quoting? And where can I read up on google's infallible firmware signing strategy that you're implying has the ability to block exploits and bugs?

Despite claims to the contrary you're less "requesting an explanation" and more making several unsupported security claims, then asking people to refute your claims as if they were factual in nature.

If this device was as secure as you imply that would be quite unique for smart home devices in general, and software in general for that matter.
It's not all the way there but the first steps are occurring:

You’re wrong on a few counts:

1. The right to associate now ostensibly includes the internet as a medium in the way the right to move,ent includes air and boat travel.

2. The right to speech implies inclusion in public forums, of which the internet is a primary medium.

3. Several government services are only available online, or which give preferential service via the internet — requiring that petitioning the government (or utilizing services) be conducted online.

There are multiple constitutional bases for right to access the internet, given your overall rights and the role the internet plays in modern society.

Thanks for the comment, but at the moment we do not cover closing costs or agent fees.

In the event that there is appreciation, but is minimal. We recommend that our client buys us out instead of selling the property. This way, they won't have to deal with the transactional costs, and with the low appreciation, the 20% cut will be very low, so it shouldn't be hard to come out of pocket for that.

As I've mentioned in some of the other replies, we'd love to keep innovating in this space and help reduce these fees, so our clients no longer have to deal with them.

Open Door is one of the companies doing a lot of cool stuff in this space, but we think there can be a lot of room for improvement. Statistically, a home is roughly 64% of the average American's total lifetime net worth, and we don't think people should have to pay so much fees on top of handling their life's most valuable physical asset.
Oh god, Wikipedia has been taken over. Just look at the language and sources. All actions by India have been sugar coated with flowery language. Governor’s rule and Marshall Law is written as, “This allowed Governor Jagmohan to rule directly”. Not mentioning the fact that he dismissed a democratically elected government on a ruse.
In Indian Kashmir the minorities were Hindus. They were kicked out by the Islamists.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_of_Kashmiri_Hindus

Terrorist organizations like ISIS, JEM and ISI took over and now the talk of independence has been missing for a long time. It is all about Islam.
Shutting down the internet in an effort to "keep the peace" is really dystopian: how do Indian citizens stand for it?

Maybe they're used to it?

FTA: "While Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promoted the rapid adoption of the internet, particularly on smartphones, to modernize India and bring it out of poverty, the country is also the world leader in shutting down the internet.

The country has increasingly deployed communications and internet stoppages to suppress potential protests, prevent rumors from spreading on WhatsApp, conduct elections and even stop students from cheating on exams. Last year, India blocked the internet 134 times, compared with 12 shutdowns in Pakistan, the No. 2 country, according to Access Now, a global digital rights group, which said its data understates the number of occurrences."
An RO filter should clear that right up.

"Functional" slavery as your implication describes is so catastrophically different from actual owning of persons that it's incomprehensibly dishonest and devalues the very real reality of slavery in past and present in the developing world. First world perspective, when you think having a job is the same as being owned.
You know what, that "resort to" will probably cause more uprising.

Some people maybe don't care about what ever is happening outside, but now they cannot connect to Steam anymore.

China was disconnected Xinjiang from the network in the past. During that time, some Xinjiangers traveled to neighboring province so they can take care their business in some online game. I guess they were the people who received the most piss from the disconnect, not those "uprising organizers".

I'm guessing an engineer named it the German equivalent of "pre-crash" sound, then someone in marketing decided that "pre-safe" sounds better. It may be better to call it "foreplay" sound, since if you ever hear it you're probably screwed.
Until recently, I had a strongly positive impression of India, as an outsider: rapidly modernizing, forward thinking and tolerant. Indians I meet in real life certainly tend to reinforce that position. However, I stumbled upon Indian Twitter during the election campaign, and I have been shocked by the vicious hatred and massive troll armies, that exceed anything I’ve noticed elsewhere. I imagine that WhatsApp is worse. The shocking behaviour has greatly diminished my opinion of the country, and it now strikes me as a powder-keg of hate.

The article mentions that the internet is being promoted as a way of advancing the country...if that’s advancement, it may be better for India to hit the brakes.
Because the article is actually a pretty interesting look at how reliant the world has become on the internet.

“I don’t know when to sleep, when to wake up, what to do with my life,” he said during a rare foray outside on Monday evening for Eid al-Adha, the holiest festival in Islam. “There is no life without internet, even in Kashmir.”
I hate this meme; and that's what is is nowadays, a meme. There are generics for both EpiPen and fast acting insulin. You can walk into a Walmart and buy R for $25/bottle [1]; it didn't even require a prescription, the last I bought it. Sure, it's not as good as Apidra and the like, but it does work; it just requires a more controlled diet. The generic EpiPen is just over $100 for a 2-pack.

I get it, there's stories every now and then of some person that died because they couldn't afford their insulin (for $275/bottle). And every time I stare at the story wondering why that person decided to kill themself for reason.

I get it that newer insulins should be cheaper, that they're way over priced. But it's disingenuous to pretend there aren't options for people that can't afford them.

wxWidgets does actually get close to that mark. But regardless of the library/programming environment, there will always be platform-specific code you have to deal with.
Well India has 20-30 odd states that are each, as distinct as countries in Europe. So answers to your questions lie in understanding how they have stayed integrated inspite of all the differences.

Expecting individuals to do the right thing vs laziness is not a good bet. A better option would be to remove plastic supply, including slightly more durable goods, by any number of mechanisms.
They don't resolve for me and most people on the public internet, but your DNS service may be configured differently. In corporate environments, bare names (like http://wiki) are often used, so DNS supports it. If you use a cheap ISP, they may try to monetize typos by making bare words resolve to a page of ads.

Around here remodeling projects have less regulation than building a new home. You'll often see a house torn down except for one wall, then a new house is built incorporating that wall. That way it is classified as a "remodel".
It's almost a different business like AWS vs. colocation of your own servers.

Traditional office space is long term leases.

Coworking spaces give you month-to-month.

With traditional office space, you're responsible for maintenance, like cleaning. You have to hire people and manage them.

Coworking spaces do cleaning for you.

Coworking spaces also try to do more things for their customers, like hosting events.

Yes, you probably pay more (although there are economies of scale) but the product you get is different enough that direct price comparisons are not applicable.
> Don't need a home as we have Airbnb. Don't need an office as we have WeWork. Etc.

> But the market of people who live that way is [A] still small, and [B] will always be somewhat small

I agree with A, but not B. To me this is a classic disruptive tech scenario. Right now living in hotels and working in coffee shops is strictly worse than having a home and an office for almost everyone.

A few people who have very special needs are well served by coworking.

However, all of the different metered rental propositions (metered office rental, metered car rental, etc) offerings are getting better and better. They are all pretty bad but you can imagine what it would take for them to be great.

Will those experiences eventually catch up to long term home/office leases? Maybe. If enough services like that get good you open up interesting possibilities like a company that only exists for a week but can do everything a fixed company can do.

I find it difficult to predict what can and can’t happen here, so I think your “people will never want this” assessment is too hasty. If there are enough early adopters who will hold on and provide feedback and a small amount of revenue, that could produce something quite compelling over the next decade.
The reason top YouTube content is so good is because creators have spent many years honing their skill and building relationships. That can’t be easily replaced and I also must say that the revenue of College Humors’s Dropout service is an indication of a lost opportunity for YouTube. If done in larger amounts, it could be death by a thousand cuts. Plenty of reason to come to the negotiating table.
So... sounds like what you really need is a recruiter recruiter!

But how do you find a good one?
> Preventative measures are necessary for the kind of thing it can spark.

To prevent what exactly? Political dissent?

Why can't people in Kashmir right now talk to each other over phone? Why can't they call their loved ones outside the region? Why isn't anyone else allowed to contact them? Why are lawyers, professors and activists being jailed? Why are some people not being allowed to leave the country? Why can't Indian politicians visit the region without being detained and sent back?

What exactly is all this preventing?
Christchurch utilised shipping containers for rockfall/ruin collapse protection, (and with modifications of course) temporary offices and accommodation after the 2011 earthquake.

They really filled a gap.
I think the issue is that people don't trust themselves to build a wooden box with adequate structural integrity.

Shipping containers on the other hand are cheap, easily available and proven.
While I understand where you’re coming from, I don’t agree with this sentiment.

Imagine saying this about electricity or gasoline. Modern cities would be completely shut down without these resources, and we should treat the Internet in the same way - as a vital resource that we simply accept as present except in the most egregious or catastrophic circumstances.
Find and hire candidates with this very specific skillset (we tried to hire for this role for over a year with no success)

Really? You weren't able to fill this role? I can almost guarantee that you could throw an extra 25-50k at someone competent to fill it.

In the end we no longer share mobile code via C++ (or any other non-standard way) and instead write code in the platform native languages.

I've started to comment on this across the interwebs. If you are a cross-platform (native) mobile developer, and haven't taken a look at Xamarin, you _need_ to give it some attention. Xamarin.Native specifically is the best solution I've come across that mostly gets out of your way, and has robust library ecosystems and sane interop.
AS I recall the paint used on a shipping container is toxic and difficult to remove to make it habitable.
Yeah data is always a big headache haha, so I feel your pain.

We use MLS data to obtain housing prices historically. We don't use government data for median income, instead, we estimate it directly by tracking social media posts from the neighborhood that are public.

We then run image analysis on them to detect features like the types of dogs people have, types of cars, and other stuff. It's not 100% accurate for sure, but it's given us a pretty good understanding of the median income for neighborhoods, and the data refreshes in real time too :)
Are you thinking of elevators, maybe?

There are maybe a few hundred on-demand escalators in the whole world, and millions of normal ones.
The Internet Is a Good Thing (AOL 2000)
This phenomena is why I'm strongly pro-immigration. Speaking as an American, I want there to be more Americans. We're not making them ourselves so we need to import. The more we import now, the better since the current population is both younger and more numerous than it will be in a few decades when we'd actually need the imported population. Doing it now means the Americanization of the immigrants will be more complete. We should bring them in and turn them American while we still have the numbers and dynamism to do so.
The Internet Is a Bad Thing (AOL 2000)
>You've fallen victim to wishful thinking. Show me even one projection at that price point.

Battery prices have been falling rapidly. They went down 35% in the last year alone. This is partly due to improved technology and partly to increasing economies of scale. Those two trends are predicted to continue.

>Which makes it a buyer's market which is even more reason to buy a secondhand ICE vehicle over a secondhand EV.

The problem is that if ICE resale prices drop, then the effective price of buying an ICE new goes up, which steer people toward buying an EV instead. EV prices are predicted to reach sticker price parity with ICE's around 2024. And their total lifetime ownership costs are already lower. When that happens then ICE sales are going to drop rapidly and be replaced by ICE's.

Remember, the original article is about GM and VW giving up on hybrids and switching to battery EV's. They are doing this because they are aware of what is going to happen and realize they will go bankrupt if they don't switch as fast as possible (and they make their money selling new cars, so people buying used ICE's is not going to save them).
What kind of battle? Can you elaborate?
