No, the post your respond to is making the point that forced not skippable advertisements are, at least with him, causing youtube to lose money.

I suspect they are with many people, they are a very strong motivator to only use the platform when you have some form of adblock enabled that prevents you from seeing the ads at all. They probably also reduce the total number of views = total number of ad impressions for people not using adblock.
Interesting, I damaged my right ear with loud earphones while DJ-ing. And in the beginning (about 20 years ago) I could hear it all the time. But with time it kind of went away there are times where I don't hear it for a year or so. The only times I hear it so it really bothers me is when I think about it. For example now that I read the headline it started immediately and it almost hurts. Therefor I'll concentrate on some other article so it stops.
Great story though you could have just pulled out the switch and soldered the wires together :-)

I look forward to the practical soldering test for developers at FANG's - every one on here can solder right.

> I use Facebook to post pictures of my vacations for my family

I use Facebook as a perpetually correct address book. People change address, phone number and sometimes email, but never their Facebook account. That single property of Facebook (which is something my generation attributed to Facebook, instead of it being directly coded as a feature) is why I could basically never leave.

I've tried to get my family off of Whatsapp, and utterly failed there. I strongly doubt my entire social circle would ever spontaneously move to something better than Facebook.
You are simply wrong on so many levels. NATO is the reason why the iron curtain stayed where it was and why the Russian federation hasn't steam-rolled Western Europe.

If you believe the US is the only actor that benefitted from this development, you're somehow ignoring about 800 million people and over two dozen countries who remained free and independent thanks to NATO.

As a comparison: For ultrasound, the price range in Germany is 100-200€ - but our hospitals don't have to inflate prices to account for non-paying patients and the salaries/other overhead costs are lower too...

If the US wants to get rid of horribly high sticker prices it needs a reform of how stuff is paid for, especially homeless/unemployed/undocumented patients. In Germany, the state covers insurance premiums for the first two categories and undocumented/asylum seeking patients only get life-saving treatments (truly inhumane if you ask me).
Others have long been saying the same.

Here is a really good takedown of the superhero mass-produced trash and the cultural pit we find ourselves in:

I'm not advocating for any sort of prescriptive definition of art, obviously. There are certainly lots of ways to talk about art, and in many respects the Marvel movies meet the definition.

But just as it would be absurd to be totalitarian about the definition art, it would be absurd to suggest that The Avengers 12 or whatever is identical to, for instance, Cinema Paradiso, and that there isn't something in the latter film that is missing from the former.

From there its not a leap to ask broader questions about what sorts of films dominate popular culture and whether that state of affairs is good or not.

This is a discussion of art, and thus the human condition. We're unlikely to find anything like a concrete conclusion. But its note futile either.
This is an important insight. Modern superheroes are gods to a society that has largely forsaken organized religion. Not only that, but they borrow symbolism and myths wholesale from older religions to establish their credibility. Case in point: Thor. He's incredibly cool in the Marvel Universe, but was a huge dick according to the Norse myths.
This sounds snarky, but I honestly don't intend it that way... Google's statements on this are only significant if you trust Google.
Thank you! The Goldberg article is a terrible way to learn about floating point, and the frequency with which it is referred to on StackOverflow is really disheartening.
I actually think this is a great little series of articles.

Something I've found confusing with algeabric data types is the fact that they are not mathematical concepts. They originate as a programming construct and were invented as part of a programming language. They were then given a name that makes it sounds mathematical, but it was just an attempt at giving some kind of metaphorical meaning to them. Same as if I name a search engine Odin, because Odin was the God of wisdom. But if you thought it had anything to do with Norse mythology you'd similarly get confused.

People tried to find correspondence for them with mathematical theories. Thus, in Set theory they could correspond to Disjoint Unions of Cartesian Products. Or in category theory, they could correspond to Coproducts of products.

I guess you could say they came out of type theory, but I'm not sure of the history here fully. Did the extensions to simply typed Lambda calculus first came out of the theory or did it retroactively built a theory from the programming construct?

At any rate, my point is, these mathematical correspondence are very confusing. And I think it's wrong to try and understand these things from the mathematical angle unless you're a mathematician trained in one of the corresponding mathematical theories.

As such I think the article does a good job.
If the right had agitators the way the left does, you could imagine them meeting with Google and brokering a deal to _implement_ these kind of algorithms. Google content generators are overwhelmingly on the left, the algorithms correct the bias: voila, problem solved!

So what exactly is the problem? Isn't "hiding political bias" exactly what conservatives want? For example, it is naïve to expect that America's college professors will become middle-of-the-road or conservative overnight, but wouldn't it be nice if they hid their personal political views from the students? Or take the New York Times. Its writers are overwhelmingly liberal and nothing is going to change that. But if they were to write in such a way that you couldn't _tell_ they were liberal, wouldn't that fulfill their obligation to be responsible journalists?
> For example, how exactly do you catch videos using copyrighted material and deal with disputes when thousands of hours of video are uploaded every hour?

I would argue if they can't responsibly handle it then perhaps they just shouldn't be doing it. They want to have their cake, and eat it too while passing the negative outcomes on to everyone else. Maybe videos shouldn't be public the moment they're uploaded to allow for adequate review, since they clearly have trouble as is. There's a solution.
There are lots of sick people who want to know how much their treatment options cost. Not just Americans, but Canadians as well (I know some).

When you have a poorly understood illness that is killing you you have two choices: pay out of pocket or die. It doesn't matter if your country has universal health care or not because treatments will not be covered until they go through a lengthy (decades) approval process. If your illness is controversial then it will be even longer.

It doesn't harm anyone to publish real healthcare prices. Please do not fight something that will harm no one. This will benefit some of the most neglected people in society.

This is a great analogy! It's crazy how much my opinion of Google has changed in the past decade or so. Judging by comments on HackerNews and elsewhere, many others feel the same.

I also feel similarly about Amazon. I enjoy using it less and less, but it's been hard to completely drop.

Months later I'm convinced this is just a talking point to avoid talking about reforming US healthcare.

I spent 45 minutes at the hospital where I was to get a lab test done, trying to get a quote for said test.

Prescribing doctor didn't know the cost. Lab tech didn't know. Billing department told me I needed a procedure code. Lab tech who was ready to draw blood couldn't tell me the needed code even after spending five minutes at a computer looking for it. Prescribing doctor gave me the code. Called back billing. They will call me back in 2 to 5 days with a quote. Weeks later, I've yet to hear from anyone.

I totally agree with you that we need to cherish these values because they really are precious. And I also very much agree that we have these issues creeping up, not just in America, but in many places around the world. On the other hand, I still think that there are progresses that cannot be easily undone because they simply change the way we live entirely. The Scientific Revolution is an example that comes to my mind.

Regarding all the problems you listed: I think the reason we see these issues come up nowadays is in large due to the fact that the "modern" way of life that currently dominates the world -- the system that encourages individualism, consumerism, and duality, has simply met its end of life. We cannot solve the problems you listed from a dualistic viewpoint. Heck, we can't even get people to help save the environment. In that sense, I do see that we will see a huge shift toward the more Eastern values (especially the notion of interdependence) in the near future, but certainly not the ones pushed by the PRC.

I'm being offered $550 by my insurance in "gift cards" if I use certain facilities for any MRIs or other diagnostics. I think that shows just how wildly variable different locations charge, and how much they get away with.

I'd love to see a published price list for standard procedures, because I think hospitals have become too used to being cash cows for administrators and CEOs. This isn't to say I think nurses or doctors are overpaid or underworked, or don't deliver good care. I just wish that people in the USA could get good healthcare without having to claim bankruptcy.

I really miss the NHS and Bupa private insurance in the UK. NHS was great for so much stuff, but when I needed multiple surgeries on my leg metalwork, I chose to use private health insurance. This let me have the same consultant as the NHS hospital, same surgeons, but in a smaller "fancier" hospital that took really good care of me. What's funny to me is that extra private insurance was just a few pounds a month, and nothing at all like the thousands we spend here in the USA.

There isn't much difference between superheroes and Disney protagonists: inherent and unearned talents followed by lying and abuse of them and then finished up with their (usually powerless) friends reminding them how special they are which fills their egos enough to defeat the antagonist.
I wasn't saying that they're the same, I was saying that they solve many of the issues that they were talking about with nuclear power (ie: need to use enriched uranium, no waste etc.). Candu reactors currently produce "waste", but they were designed not to since Canada thought they had little uranium to work with. Once it was found it was abundant in Canada, they stopped the reprocessing step, and just used newly mined uranium.
I'm not sure that anyone could define it yet, but it would have to start with breaking away from the 20th century philosophy that's still very ingrained in most of society. The defining feature of that philosophy is that self-actualization and the individual are almost deified.

I actually think a lot of that was fueled by post-World War II prosperity in the US, and ultimately the rest of the west as the century got past its midway point. Globalization in a way is normalizing that "peak" and I suspect that, in addition to the corrosive effects of narcissism at scale will cause some sort of reaction that looks very different than 20th century teenage rebellion and extended adolescence.

For a theoretical example of 21st century life, I could imagine multiple generations sharing the same home, as is already the trend. That may seem very old fashioned but I see it as more post-modern as it will be mixed ad hoc with other more future forward conventions (for better or worse). Maybe some of those living in the household are gig economy workers enabled by technology for instance.

If all important experiences were universal then communication would be superfluous, if not, in some sense, impossible.

We don't need to do much work to explain what we all experience. There is no virtuosity of the obvious. Communicating those things we don't share is the province of skill and a particular kind of value not present in the immediate and universal.

I think they are probably betting that for $10 a month, people who already have a playstation or xbox would check it out and subscribe from pure curiosity. When the next generation of consoles come out in a couple years, here's the choice users will be looking at:

$500 for a new playstation/xbox? Or just keep paying that $10 a month subscription that I forgot about two years ago?

Imagine you are a parent and your 13 year old kid wants to play whatever the new popular game is. You can spend a few hundred bucks on a console, or you can spend $10 a month for them to play the same game. It's an easy decision.

Because I’m able to survive just fine in America, and I was born here and I am committed to doing my best to help.

The fact that I can point at that doesn’t make me want to move to Sweden, it makes me want to work harder to take care of my neighbors and to change our political climate.

I don't live there, why should i? This one is now burnt as a benchmark, but i have others, more relevant to my location.
I've only chosen this example because it was the one where i noticed how badly common online maps differ from what i'm used to from old paper maps, while following up some old railroad history in the Rockies. With the exception of Bing Maps they create some sort of virtual reality, where some places either don't even show up as separately named area, or the labels are wrong, up to some miles away. Not always, but often. This makes them unusable, or at least annoying to use. By that i mean a general overview of where is what related to its neighbours. As it is now, i get streets, POIs , Businesses, whatever else, for themselves, often missing the right name of the area, be it suburbs or other (sometimes historic) places like i'd explore some blank spots. Which defies the meaning of map, i think. Of course, if all you need is to get from point A to B via maybe C with total disregard for flyover country, industrial wasteland, monotonous suburbia while listening to some audiobook, then this is unimportant.

Edit: Warping spatial perception is what i mean!
Most of these issues could be said about Python as well, but the environment that you describe is of a very poor code quality culture. This can happen in any language. I'm not saying we should use CoffeeScript in 2019, but that the criticisms seem vague.

>a technician should be able to repair it

Most people don't care one way or the other as long as they end up with a functioning machine. They don't care about how the wheels end up getting turned as long as they get turned. If anything, replacing a larger component rather than diagnosing and fixing individual components should be faster. If someone has to solder or work on transistors, your repair could definitely take weeks and that time only goes up with the number of repairs necessary for all customers.

>If you throw away a machine

If you throw away a machine, that's on you. Apple, and most other PC manufacturers, offer some kind of machine recycling. That process includes recycling the raw materials and disassembling and reusing components. Unless we're talking about machines that are 7+ years, those components can still be used for warranty repairs and other assemblies. It's exactly why Apple stops servicing devices that are that old and instead only offers recycling for them. When the warranty claims go down, the parts needed go down.
