So if TLS 2.0 starts using ESNI (either draft-ietf-tls-esni or draft-ietf-tls-sni-encryption) QUIC will benefit from that too. Otherwise, QUIC is neutral.
This is a fantastic novelty for once, but I personally find the setting jarring and unsettling for repeat visits.
Why isn't YouTube charging for membership yet? The way I see it, if they simply charged all of their users $7.99/month to use the service they could eliminate a lot of their problems.

I mean we pay for Netflix, for HBO, for HULU... why not for YouTube? I would rather pay for the service then see/hear about all the creators backlash from their policies. Policies that seem to be derived from the fact that YouTube needs to make money, just a thought anyhow.
Words can be violent, sure. Violent rhetoric is for sure reason to surveil a group. What words specifically did these groups engage in that worries you?
Why sadly? That is the only reason it still works well (parts that have remained private and free from government intrusion).

Do you think the government can create a better YouTube? Or force YouTube to do as you wish while remaining gratis and not introducing quotas and similar restrictions or limitations?
Thing is, it could happen semi-inadvertently even, such that there’s nothing to blow the whistle on. Basically, the incentives are aligned to support the above scenario. If the thinking going into the public funds is geared toward how “big money” works, and the small, private fund is designed to exploit features of “big money” moving around the market, and you get some cross-pollination of those hypothesis about what “big money” should do, the scenario described above emerges naturally. No grand conspiracy in a smoke-filled room is necessary.
Competitive sports(or anything else) at a high enough level is more about genetic selection than training. The training reveals and reinforces potential and is obviously necessary, but at some point anything that is competitive enough it really just showing you who found the right sport and the right training for their genetic capabilities.

In high school football there were guys who with the same amount of training could squat/bench/deadlift considerably more than everyone else. They were stronger/faster and when applied to the right sports they were on another level.

Sure, those less gifted in those areas could train hard to make up some of the difference, but not as much as you'd imagine. If you are short, no matter how hard you train you will be at a disadvantage playing basketball. If you are tall and bigger/overweight, you aren't going to win at cross country distance running.

Humans tend to overvalue magical training and undervalue the existing potential that training reveals.
That's the thing that most people don't understand, though.

Most people complaining about YouTube's hosting policies don't actually have a problem with YouTube's hosting policies.

You can upload almost anything you want - as long as it's not illegal, infringes on copyright, or violates the most serious cultural taboos (nudity, etc). YouTube's hosting policies are fairly lax, and allows a lot of borderline content.

However, a lot of content exists on the gray edges of those borderlines. And YouTube allows you to upload things in that gray area. What it won't do, is drive audiences towards them, and it won't pay you for uploading it.

When people complain about YouTube being unfair to them, what they are actually complaining about, is that YouTube isn't paying them money, or driving audiences to them.

If those people were willing to wait for audiences to find them, or weren't motivated by profit, they wouldn't be complaining.
I think you're projecting your own personal biases and grievances into this scenario. I don't think it's a given that this was burnout related at all. You have no proof that it was, and yet you persist in treating it like a foregone conclusion.

I also think that you're wrong in making it the manager's job to police to work habits of their subordinates. I think a good manager should recognize signs of burnout in their subordinates and bring it up to try and address it, but you're arguing that the manager should impose their own idea of a healthy schedule on their subordinates rather than trusting them to know what works best for them. That strikes me as paternalistic.
Yes - BUT the main reason people go isn't for the first-person experience, it's so they can take photos and post online. So none of those limitations really matter.
Twitch's moderation is infamously capricious at best. On the other hand, twitch streamers are known for pushing boundaries.
The point of competition is to compete (which is why you need to leave the competition alive,) and sort best to worst. Why you would do that is subjective.
What countries are you referring to in your reply? Pretty tough to fact check “elsewhere”.
Absolutely disagree. Pandas is the horror show.

create table df_merged as
(select from df1 join df2 using(common_key))

Perhaps a bit more verbose but infinitely more readable and parseable.

How about this one. Add a between join i.e. "AND where df1.datecol between df2.datecol - interval '30 day' and df2.datecol + interval '30' day" in pandas?

This is an extremely common operation in analytics, by no means an esoteric use case.
And they may well be monitoring far right protestors as well.

People are going to keep buying iPhones and iPads and Macs and Apple Watches and Apple TVs anyway.

Then they'll discover the apps which are available for them.

Your app can either be one of them or, unless you're massively popular, people aren't even going to know that your app is missing.

If Krita goes, there's not going to be any shortage of painting apps for Apple devices.
The tone of many comments here is disappointing. I'm really surprised at the number of people suggesting illegal activity.

Why is it so hard to accept that someone did the math?
You have to wear all the hats on a small team, unfortunately.

Between Thanksgiving and New Years is typically one of the better periods of the year for getting real work done, so there is that to look forward to.
I do. Media love an underdog story, especially when the underdog is taking on the companies that are costing them revenue.

I suspect the "NaziTube" nicknames (did this happen somewhere? Or is it more of a hypothetical example) are because upstarts don't have the resources to ensure Nazi videos are blocked. Thus, they become a breeding ground for that pernicious type of scum that has been evicted from the larger, better resourced, systems.
Estimates are always more easily attacked than measurements. Remember we're not talking about people trying in good-faith to evaluate something, we're talking about a few getting hit with a tax based on that number. A good tax should be hard to question legally.
It would if it had a legitimate new take on the video hosting problem and wasn't just "YouTube, but for free speech", which would immediately become "YouTube, but for Nazis".

Folding Ideas (on YouTube) had a solid video about VidMe, which is a case study in how NOT to do this:

> for creative people, macOS is a laughably small platform, with a very small user-base, bringing in next to nothing money-wise, nothing contribution-wise

... As a user, statements like that – about any platform – honestly just make me want to avoid anything from the developers who make them.
> The root issue here is that the thing people want-- a video hosting site that is free, preserves uploads forever (by contrast with Twitch, which has limited VOD support), has few to no ads, and doesn't algorithmically police copyright-- is just impossible.

It's worse than that. What you've listed is what the viewers want.

What the content creators want is all of the above, but to also get paid money, and to receive free marketing for their content.
Fine to disagree with notarization and the $100 fee, but it's silly to paint it as a cash grab. That $100 from developers isn't even a drop in the bucket for Apple's revenue.
> People do not have some inherent want to break social conventions

Unfortunately in some places "taking what can be taken" is a social convention. I know people who are saying: "People in europe are idiots, i can take anything i want from supermarket, and the policemen doesn't even dare to search me, though knows that i have taken something".
> "The nation above all else."(Nationalism)

Googling that phrase, the first hit I get is Fascism, not Nationalism.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/fascism-1

----------------------------

Definition and Beliefs

Fascism is an ultranationalist, authoritarian political philosophy. It combines elements of nationalism, militarism, economic self-sufficiency, and totalitarianism. It opposes communism, socialism, pluralism, individual rights and equality, and democratic government.

Fascism places the importance of the nation above all else. The unity of the national community is prioritized above the rights of individuals. This leads to an intense interest in defining which groups belong or do not belong to the national body. Fascism is characterized by:

strident, often exclusionary nationalism
fixation with national decline (real or perceived) and threats to the existence of the national community
embrace of paramilitarism

----------------------------

These two ideas seem to have become synonymous in the minds of most people, but academically they are distinct.
This is partly due to the fact that Common Lisp rules are used for syntax highlighting - so the function, macro and special form names are highlighted somewhat randomly.
Here’s my attempt at a tool for writing not even a draft but a stream of consciousness that evaporates like a daydream or prayer.

https://swa.sh

It doesn’t work on mobile, but you should use it with a proper keyboard anyway. There’s nothing sent from the JavaScript to any server; it’s a static page hosted on Netlify with very simple code. It’s just an index.html with style and script tags, 39 lines total.

I use it in the evening when the baby is asleep and I just want to reflect and think for a while. Maybe you will like it too.
Ask HN: How many/which app accounts do you need to create for a new team member?
For us it's about 10 apps we have to add a new dev to (GitHub, Harvest, GSuite, Gusto, Slack, Clubhouse, Notion and a few others I'm forgetting).

I'm curious what the list looks like for everyone else.
You and the parent both have excellent points, and I frankly agree with both of you. I think, at least in the US, many public spaces are trending towards isolation of the population. Specifically I'm thinking of gyms (where its no longer OK to interact with someone with headphones on), or bars/clubs where the music is literally so loud you cannot talk to someone standing right next to you. I believe all of this is in some way related to us becoming more lonely/depressed, and of course we self-medicate in the only way we know how: consumption.
Someone works long hours sometimes and therefore they're probably bipolar? What?
Good lord, didn't anybody read the article? Or at least skim it?
This would actually be a good hire for them. At least based on talks with T-mobile teams as part of vendor evaluations over the last couple years, a lot of T-mobilers credit Legere with significantly improving T-mobile's prospects, appeal to customers, and network investment. WeWork needs a similar level of turnaround to remain relevant.
Google also gets the ability to leverage wasted search assets for YT. YT's video long tail is very low IOPs workload.

Search on the other hand is high IOPs.

As you scale out your HDD storage fleet its great to have the benefit of putting a Low IOPs high storage with a High IOPs low storage.

Thanks for that explanation, that makes more sense.
I have a feeling we will see a similar (but much slower) cycle with online video as we do with online image hosting.

Every few years a new image host pops up since the incumbents are getting so terrible, they promise the world and get popular until one day they need to start paying for the service and introduce ads, then they stop hotlinking, offer pro accounts, and need to manage takedowns and illegal content.

Soon they look the same as the service they were meant to replace. And then like clockwork, someone comes along who thinks they can do it better, and it all starts over.

I can easily see this playing out with video, but much slower due to everything being bigger, and due to the network effects that at least YouTube currently has.
Those problems often exist because of single sourcing, and the arsenal system was often much worse. Protection vests, helmets and other stuff that meet military standards are actually quite affordable in the US and there are multiple vendors for all of them. A good search to run online to see what the system looks like is “AR 670 boots”.
If private equity firms and investment bankers have some cash, and we think that cash would be put to better use building a company, what does that have to do with Bezos?
Thankfully we've now realized that "initial noise words" are fine and shouldn't be shifted when sorting.
Oh, for sure. It took us 2 years to make the switch. But despite the time and effort it was totally worth it. I would hope that anyone starting a new project would not even consider choosing Oracle. In my opinion and experience there is no point anymore, especially considering the high cost of an Oracle license.
Not all multi-day ultras are stage races. Have a look at the Tor des Geants (tordesgeants.it). Unlikely the Berkeley, you have a good chance of finishing. But it basically involves almost no sleep for a week. I did it a couple of years back and got 16 1/2 hrs sleep in 138 hrs.

Bonkers but utterly brilliant...
Well reports are that the Medallion Fund is capped at $10B with a 66% annual return before fees and a 39% annual return after fees, so the other funds would need to underperform by an average of at least $3.9B per year. If we include the fees in the performance (it's not clear to me that we should, since it's just an accounting measure that RenTec claims to pay itself) then it's at least $6.6B.

Wikipedia says RenTec AUM is $110B. $10B for the Medallion Fund leaves $100B for the other two. So they would need to underperform by either >3.9% or >6.6%. I have had trouble finding exact numbers for those funds, so I can't determine if that's really the case or not.

However, this assumes RenTec is unable to beat the market at all. Maybe they really can beat it, but by only 2-3% per year. They can still funnel that outperformance into the smaller fund to turn it into 66%/39%.
Despite this trend, maybe it’s just me but I have never actually experienced elevator music. As in music playing in a literal elevator. Sometimes there’s a TV with weather reports and sports scores and “fun facts” that pop up but no music.

People that are surprised by this should consider investing more in their meditation practices. Meditation has a way of making your emotional and physical state data the mind considers instead of a force that drives the mind.
It's always a small group of people apply forces on the rest. In communism, it's the party members. In capitalism, it's the board of directors. communism prioritizes fairness. capitalism prioritizes freedom. People who want fairness hate capitalism. People who want freedom hate communism. Too much fairness but too little freedom bankrupts communism: people die in a fair manner. Too much freedom but too little fairness crashes capitalism: people die from voluntarily killing each other. Stop feeling superior to anyone else, but start acting. Western society has a lot of fairness problems to solve. Let's start solving them.
WeWork in Talks to Hire T-Mobile's John Legere as CEO: WSJ
The argument that I have heard people make is that some ABIs are changing in 64 bit land, such as syscalls or how appkit talks to the window server, so they have to keep some 32 bit frameworks frozen in time in some places, and update them in others. Maintaining 32 bit versions of that is nonzero cost.

That said, I don't agree with such an argument. It seems like seeking out technical excuses for crappy user outcomes. In another thread on this topic I said: in any job there are parts that are fun and others that are not so fun but necessary. They should try to keep customer apps working.
Reminds me of the quote I heard about 'experiential' businesses: "If you can't take a picture and brag about it online, then it's not experiential"
>If she was the fastest girl in America, though, how come she did better than those who were lighter?

NOP is well known for their athletes doping. This woman was basically as close to Salazar as an athlete gets, so I'm about 99.99% sure she was doping. Once PEDS get involved, all of the normal rules go out the window. So being lighter would not really give you any advantage over an athlete with a few pharmaceutical enhancements.
Cough.

At this point, the virtuous aspect of sports have taken a nearly complete back seat to power, prestige, and pecuniarum. Universities, for example, ought to be the epitome of pursuing sport for the sake of virtuous self-development.

And yet, what do we see there? A system so corrupt it is a miracle it doesn't collapse under the weight of outrage. Athletes who ruin their bodies for nothing except the hope of being drafted to play as professionals, while their coaches are paid millions of dollars a year,

We can choose to pursue sport for virtue's sake, but we're kidding ourselves if we believe that this is how sport actually works as an industry within capitalism, or as practiced by flag-waving nation-states.
Not necessarily. Using the weight of the big funds to put your thumb on the scale of the market could absolutely shift market prices in a way that can be exploited to reap more reward than is lost. In fact, it is a good explanation for why the medallion fund is size-limited.

Also, as someone else noted, there is a 10x size difference between the two pools of money. So the big fund can “lose” 1% which generates a 10% increase in the small fund. Then you advertise that you are capable of incredible returns to induce people to invest in the big fund. Another reason why the small private fund is limited in size.
One of my favorite people on Quora is Roland Bartetzko. He was part of the German army, then he fought two wars during the Yougoslavian dissolution as a volunteer.

One in Croatia-Bosnia and another one with the KLA during the Kosovo independence war in 98-99 against yougoslavian forces (mostly serbian).

His answers give a very realistic view of the war as combat soldier:

TLDR:

* 4th landing for this first stage booster. Estimated first stage service life is ten launches prior to inspection, one hundred flights total

* Fairings were reused from a previous launch, unable to be recovered due to rough seas this launch

* 360-400 satellites required in the constellation to transition from "bent pipe" to intra-constellation data routing

* 1200 satellites provides global coverage

* Starlink satellites have a five year service life

* SpaceX board recognized in 2012 that satellite comms has a much higher margin than satellite launch services
We're talking about 16-bit floats, or even INT8 or INT4, as the basis of neural nets these days, pushing the problem back to CPU-cycles.

CNNs in particular recycle the same set of weights over-and-over again, fitting inside of the tiny caches (or shared-memory in GPUs), allowing for the compute-portion of the hardware to really work the data.

> CPU cycles are limitless. Most of the time the CPU is waiting for the memory system.

CPUs go out-of-order, deeply pipelines, and speculative so that they have work to do even while waiting for the memory system.

The typical CPU has over 200+ instructions in flight in parallel these days. (200+ sized reorder buffers and "shadow registers" to support this hidden parallelism), and that's split between two threads for better efficiency ("Hyperthreading").

GPUs can have 8x warps / wavefronts per SM (NVidia) or CU (AMD) waiting for memory. If one warp/wavefront (a group of 32 or 64 threads) is waiting for memory, the GPU will switch to another "ready to run" warp/wavefront.

It takes some programmer effort to understand this process and write high-performance code. But its doable with some practice.
I have met three among the small handful that I know. I am pretty sure that there are many more out there.

If you hate this industry, HN is an odd place to hang out.

Also don't complain about downvotes.
HBO, Hulu, and yes, even Netflix all have content with much, much higher production values than Youtube. Are you really going to pay $7.99/month for one-person-talking-into-a-camera style content? I certainly wouldn't.

If there's a creator I really like, I'd rather support them directly on Patreon, anyway. Why should I pay Youtube and give Google a hefty cut of that revenue?
>just asking users.

That's way easier said than done. Plus, then you have to trust users. If I want to know how often feature X is used on platform Y, having some basic telemetry is way more reliable than sending out a survey to users.
I have to say, the first time I read about Renaissance I felt sadness at the thought that this much ability and such resources were put into essentially making money out of thin air, with very limited (if any) social benefits.
I can't escape the feeling that the world would be a better place if maths and physics phd's would get to live a good life doing maths and physics, rather than being lured into quant finance.
>Host it yourself.

No, that self-hosting option doesn't replace Youtube. A lot of techies seem to have a blind spot as to the real value Youtube provides to content creators and video uploaders: $0 hosting costs for unlimited audience.

No self-hosted tech stack or home-based network appliance to stream videos can offer that same financial deal.

Techies seem to only see the technical stack and the protocol to host a video. The intimate knowledge computers is actually misdirecting you away from the real strengths of Youtube. Instead, look at Youtube the same way a non-techie content creator would. My previous comments trying to explain this:
